Supplementary Notes In the main the report consists of the original con­ tributions of the CI-authors. Only the results of geographic investigations have been compiled into a synoptic chapter. Preface, introductory comments on the subdivisions, formulation of conclusions and recommendations was done by the PI. Parts of the results have been presented at the following meetiigs:-Annual Meeting of the Remote Sensing Group of the German Research Council, Clausthal, February 1973 Annual Meeting of the "Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft", Frankfurt, October 73 Third ERTS Symposium, Washington D.C., December 1973 15. Abstract Studies for the project were carried out in the fields of geology-pedology, coastal dynamics, geodesy-cartography, geography and data processing. In geology­ pedology a comparison of ERTS-image studies with extensive ground data (large scale maps and geological surveys) led to a better understanding of the relationship between vegetation, soilbedrock and other geologic features. New findings in linear tectonics gave better insight in orogeny and the development of ore deposits, being used in practical ore prospecting. The coastal studies proved the value of ERTS-images for the updating of nautical charts. Geodesists and cartographers showed possibilites and limitations of using ERTS-imagery ftr the preparation of small scale topographic maps. To the geographers it seems rather difficult to find ways of application of ERTS-studies for actual problems. With better-repetative coverage and the use of more sophiticated data processing, however, future appli­ cation in the monitoring and planning of urban development appears promising. Data processing in general made a big step forward towards automated image analysis and image processing, A plotter for large scale high speed image generation from CCT was developed.
