Hence the overall conference theme they chose: Crossing Borders. Borders not only between countries and research institutes but also between types of platforms (from satellites to drones), data sources and disciplines. This was reflected in the special scientific themes put forward: • UAV and Miniaturised Remote Sensing Capabilities and Applications • GPS, GNSS and Galileo for Earth Observation • Geo-Information and Integration for Smart and Green Cities • Advanced Monitoring and Assessment of Hazards (natural, anthropogenic and pandemic) Four years on, a lot has happened. The bid was selected, but the unabating global COVID-19 crisis forced us to rethink the conference. Instead of having a live conference in the heart of Europe, where the future of remote sensing is being shaped, we had to turn the event into a fully virtual one that was nevertheless no less interesting and exciting. We believe we met this challenge. The remote sensing and geoscience community rose to the occasion, and we were able to programme over 2400 very diverse papers and 118 interesting invited sessions, many of them addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, all accessible via a new and enticing virtual platform. We invite you to rediscover in detail the rich tapestry of IGARSS 2021 science. Enjoy the proceedings.

Its mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world. ESA is an international organisation with 22 Member States. By coordinating the financial and intellectual resources of its members, it can undertake programmes and activities far beyond the scope of any single European country. https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA’s Earth Science Division (ESD) missions help us to understand our planet’s interconnected systems, from a global scale down to minute processes.

It brings together many prestigious research programs and manages ten federal scientific institutes. These institutes managed by BELSPO are full of assets. They offer exceptional environment and research materials for scientists but also world-class artistic and historical collections. Thanks to its research programs, its federal scientific institutes and with 2300 employees, BELSPO brings together a range of expertise in fields such as astronomy, astrophysics, meteorology, history, paleontology, meteorology, mineralogy, musicology, seismology, gravimetry, climatology, anthropology, earth sciences, archivistics, conservation, restoration, information sciences, codicology, aquatic and terrestrial ecology, cartography, molecular biology...

Its main tasks are research and public service in space aeronomy, which is the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere of the Earth and other planets, and of outer space. It is the only centre of knowledge in Belgium that has the required competences to elaborate all elements of a space mission to perform a complete study of an aeronomic problem. https://www.aeronomie.be/ https://twitter.com/BIRA_IASB https://www.facebook.com/IASB.BIRA (French) https://www.facebook.com/BIRA.IASB (Dutch) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5zMdZ_xAwijOjr5jwiJntw https://www.linkedin.com/company/98733 https://www.instagram.com/bira_iasb/ European Facility for Airborne Research (EUFAR) EUFAR, the European Facility for Airborne Research in Environmental and Geosciences brings together infrastructure operators of both instrumented research aircraft and remote-sensing instruments with the scientific user community, both expert and early-stage researchers, other data users and stakeholders. EUFAR has existed since 2000 for the purpose of linking the airborne environmental research community (both facility operators and scientific users) in Europe. Around 120 flight campaigns, funded by EU Research Infrastructures programmes, have been supported where the users did not normally have access to appropriate airborne observing facilities through their national research funding. Other successful outcomes have included joint research activities focussed on the development of improved data quality and standards, the organization of summer schools where student groups have obtained hands-on experience in airborne research topics and the publication of a textbook on airborne measurements for environmental research. In 2018, EUFAR was established as an AISBL – an international not-for-profit association under Belgian law. This is supported by its member organisations (currently 13 from 9 countries) with the leading objective to maintain EUFAR as a central point of contact for scientists who require airborne observations to support their research. Its membership includes organisations that are leaders in the operation and use of research aircraft and instrumentation, both in terms of in-situ atmospheric measurements and the use of imaging and other remote-sensing techniques for the study of the Earth’s surface. https://www.eufar.net/ https://twitter.com/EUFAR_science https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8158851/ 3 2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium · Virtual · Brussels, Belgium Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), as the national space agency of Japan, conducts integrated space activities from basic research and development, to utilization, to support the Japanese government.

  • A 1 Case-PR/ }*Rciofft.;Is Report
    .A 1 case-PR/ }*rciofft.;is Report (a) This eruption site on Mauna Loa Volcano was the main source of the voluminous lavas that flowed two- thirds of the distance to the town of Hilo (20 km). In the interior of the lava fountains, the white-orange color indicates maximum temperatures of about 1120°C; deeper orange in both the fountains and flows reflects decreasing temperatures (<1100°C) at edges and the surface. (b) High winds swept the exposed ridges, and the filter cannister was changed in the shelter of a p^hoehoc (lava) ridge to protect the sample from gas contamination. (c) Because of the high temperatures and acid gases, special clothing and equipment was necessary to protect the eyes. nose, lungs, and skin. Safety features included military flight suits of nonflammable fabric, fuil-face respirators that are equipped with dual acidic gas filters (purple attachments), hard hats, heavy, thick-soled boots, and protective gloves. We used portable radios to keep in touch with the Hawaii Volcano Observatory, where the area's seismic activity was monitored continuously. (d) Spatter activity in the Pu'u O Vent during the January 1984 eruption of Kilauea Volcano. Magma visible in the circular conduit oscillated in a piston-like fashion; spatter was ejected to heights of 1 to 10 m. During this activity, we sampled gases continuously for 5 hours at the west edge. Cover photo: This aerial view of Kilauea Volcano was taken in April 1984 during overflights to collect gas samples from the plume. The bluish portion of the gas plume contained a far higher density of fine-grained scoria (ash).

  • Recent Surge Behavior of Walsh Glacier Revealed by Remote Sensing Data
    sensors Article Recent Surge Behavior of Walsh Glacier Revealed by Remote Sensing Data Xiyou Fu 1,2 and Jianmin Zhou 1,* 1 Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China; [email protected] 2 College of Resoures and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 November 2019; Accepted: 22 January 2020; Published: 28 January 2020 Abstract: Many surge-type glaciers are present on the St. Elias Mountains, but a detailed study on the surge behavior of the glaciers is still missing. In this study, we used remote sensing data to reveal detailed glacier surge behavior, focusing on the recent surge at Walsh Glacier, which was reported to have surged once in the 1960s. Glacial velocities were derived using a cross-correlation algorithm, and changes in the medial moraines were interpreted based on Landsat images. The digital elevation model (DEM) difference method was applied to Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) DEMs to evaluate the surface elevation of the glacier. The results showed that the surge initiated near the conjunction of the eastern and northern branches, and then quickly spread downward. The surge period was almost three years, with an active phase of less than two years. The advancing speed of the surge front was much large than the maximum ice velocity of 14 m/d observed during the active phase. Summer speed-ups and a winter speed-up in ≈ ice velocity were observed from velocity data, with the speed-ups being more obvious during the active phase.
