The 7th Workshop on Remote Sensing of Land Ice and Snow of the European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories (EARSeL) was held at the Institute of Geography, University of Bern, Switzerland, from 03 – 06 February 2014.
The workshop invites presentations on all fields of environmental research focussing on snow and ice as proxy for changing cryosphere, methods for retrieving cryospheric parameters from various types of remote sensing data, theoretical basis of inversion methods and their application, state-of-the-art retrieval algorithms, data assimilation of remote sensing data and in situ observations in process models, current and planned sensors for snow and ice, etc. The workshop also offers the possibility for sessions covering preparations and successful realization of field campaigns in mountainous and polar regions. The last day is dedicated for the ESA-Globsnow User Consultation Meeting. All participants are invited to attend the meeting.
Session topics:
- Glaciers and ice caps
- Snow cover (regional and global, microwave, SAR)
- Snow and climate
- Snow hydrology and snow modelling
- New technologies (sensors/methods)
- Snow modelling and data assimilation
- Programs and services
- ESA Globsnow contribution (special session included in the workshop)
Keynote Speakers:
- Prof. Dr. Konrad Steffen (Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL, Switzerland)
- Dr. Frank Paul (Department of Geography, University of Zurich, Switzerland)
- Dr. Chris Derksen (Environment Canada, Canada)
