The ISPRS Geospatial Week (GSW) is a combination of workshops organised by about 30 ISPRS Working Groups active in areas of interest of ISPRS. It is convened by the University of Twente acting as local organiser, and led by George Vosselman as GSW Director. The ISPRS Geospatial Week is held biennially in odd years. The GSW 2019 is the fourth edition, after Antalya 2013, Montpellier 2015 and Wuhan 2017.
The ISPRS Geospatial Week’s general goals are to:
increase the possibility of communication between the different workshop communities within ISPRS and beyond;
increase the continuous visibility of ISPRS on a yearly basis, together with the Congress and the Commission Symposia, thus leading to larger impact for ISPRS activities;
gives Sustaining Members a more attractive opportunity to participate in ISPRS events.
The fourth edition of the GSW will take place from 10-14 June 2019 at University of Twente, Eschede, The Netherlands.
The ISPRS Geospatial Week 2019 will host several workshops among them;
C3M&GBD – Collaborative Crowdsourced Cloud Mapping and Geospatial Big Data
CHCGS – Cryosphere and Hydrosphere for Global Change Studies
EuroCow-M3DMaN – Joint European Calibration and Orientation Workshop and Workshop on Multi-sensor systems for 3D Mapping and Navigation
HyperMLPA – Hyperspectral Sensing meets Machine Learning and Pattern Analysis
Indoor3D
And many others. For more information on submission of abstracts, travel grants and deadlines visit: https://www.gsw2019.org/
ISPRS Technical Commission III WG III/2, 10 Joint Workshop
Recently, an increasing frequency of extreme climatic events has been observed. Hence there is concern that the impacts of global environmental change is increasing. It is reported that extreme weather such as strong typhoon, hurricanes, torrential rain, droughts and heat waves are taking places at various places in the world. These extreme weather caused by climate change are affecting to not only natural environment but also human environment. on this note, the ISPRS Technical Commission III WG III/2 is organisimg a workshop under the theme " Multidisciplinary Remote Sensing for Environmental Monitoring." The workshop will take place in the beautiful city of Kyoto, Japan from 12th-14th March, 2019 at the Kyoto University's Clock Tower Centennial Hall. Deadline of camera ready paper submission was on 25th December, 2018.
The topics to be ahndled during the workshop include but not limited to:
Microwave Remote Sensing (WG III/2)
Agriculture and Natural Ecosystems Modelling and Monitoring (WG III/10)
Landuse and Landcover Monitoring
Disaster Monitoring
Civil Infrastructure Monitoring
