On behalf of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society, I am delighted to welcome you to IGARSS 2013, and to express our sincere appreciation to the 2013 local team for organizing an outstanding conference. From the plenary session, which includes internationally recognized keynote speakers and celebrates the accomplishments of our members, to the technical program with contributors from more...
On behalf of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) we would like to warmly welcome you to Melbourne for IGARSS 2013 with a heartfelt “G'day”! The Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society was founded 51 years ago and this will be the 33rd annual IGARSS symposium continuing the wonderful tradition of gathering world-class scientists, engineers and educators in the fields of geoscience and...
The Technical Programme Committee (TPC) takes great pleasure in welcoming you all to IGARSS 2013, and in presenting to you the technical programme that we have helped construct from over 1900 high-quality submissions this year.
LeanEO! is a 2-year Earth Observation education project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and developed by different European Institutions. Its main aim is to increase the understanding and knowledge of satellite data obtained from ESA missions and demonstrate how these can be used when faced with environmental problems in the real world. The project has developed hands-on training resources...
Mathematics was used to promote Homeland Security Management to reveal how academics face a challenge when expressing relationships between new fields of study. Homeland Security Management is the new fields of study involved with Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in this project. The needs analysis showed that the average student exhibits awkwardness in developing the knowledge required...
Research and training in atmospheric lidar remote sensing requires highly versatile software environments for both experimentation and analysis. Experimentation and analysis may be conducted either directly on site at the location of the lidar equipment and/or institutional computer center or remotely from a distant location. The requirements for lidar software environments depend not only on type...
In this study, the dielectric constants of 12 types of soil with different organic matter content were measured using the coaxial probe method by network analyzer (0.5–40 GHz) at room temperature (approx. 23°C). The observed dielectric constant increases only slowly with soil volumetric water content up to a transition point. Beyond the transition point, it increases rapidly with volumetric water...
High Circular Polarization Ratio (CPR) was thought to be a robust diagnostic of water-ice on the lunar surface. Recent researches have reported such findings on walls, floors, and proximal ejecta of impact craters, as well as on sunlit zones. These signatures could not be explained with water-ice as the probable cause. In an attempt to explain such sightings, this paper portrays the character of radar...
The present paper deals with the task of identifying lunar craters having possible existence of water-ice deposits on their surface. For this purpose, a decision tree algorithm has been proposed, in which decision criterion are decided on the basis of CPR, m-δ decomposition, fractal dimension ‘D’ and conditions proposed by Thompson et al., The proposed algorithm is successfully applied on Chandrayaan-1's...
Vibrio cholerae(V. cholerae) is a component of coastal and estuarine microbial ecosystems, with the copepod species of zooplankton that comprise the aquatic fauna of rivers, bays, estuaries and the open ocean serving as host for the bacterium. There is a remarkably strong association between cholera and some regional environmental factors such as the sea and climate. In this paper, the sea surface...
To reliably monitor the deformation of a single landslide is often a difficulty for DInSAR with mid-resolution SAR data. The high resolution SAR systems bring opportunities for the task. Among the landslides in Three Gorges area, Shuping landslide is typical and some previous works using DInSAR have been done during the last years. In this paper, 9 TerraSAR-X spotlight images are used to map the surface...
