Dear colleague,
We would like to invite you to participate in Northern Eurasian GOFC/GOLD Fire Network Workshop “Satellite-based fire monitoring network in Northern Eurasia: Methods, Data Products, Applications”, which will take place on November 17, 2004 in the Space Research Institute in Moscow, Russia. It is held in support of the Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative
(NEESPI).
The workshop is organized in conjunction with the conference CURRENT PROBLEMS OF THE EARTH’S REMOTE SENSING FROM SPACE held on November 16-18.
The workshop will address the following issues:
- Status, goals and objectives of the network: most urgent tasks and priorities.
- Building and operating the network: current capabilities, architecture, data used, and perspectives.
- Procedures, methods and validation techniques: data sets, product validation protocols, access to data and validation results for the scientific community.
- Use of infrastructure, data, and methodological approaches of the network in scientific research and operational applications.
