• Call for papers

  • Abstract submission will open on 30 April, 2025

  • Abstract submission process

    • There are no fees for submitting abstracts.
    • Abstracts will be made available to the participants in an electronic form. The author is solely responsible for the ethical and scientific content of the submission as well as for its proper grammatical and stylistic form.
    • The principal author is expected to present the work in-person during the workshop (oral or poster session). In case this is not possible, the primary author may delegate the presentation to one of the co-authors.

  • Abstract submission guidelines


    Language:  all submitted material shall be written in English.

    Title of presentation: please choose a brief title (maximum of 100 characters) that clearly indicates the content of the contribution. Please avoid abbreviations in the title. Abbreviations may be used in the text if they are defined when first used.

    Principal author: name, email, institution, business affiliation (department, school, agency, or company, etc.), city and country. In instances of multiple authorship, the person whose name is listed first is expected to deliver the presentation, unless otherwise specified.

    Co-authors: their names, email, institution/business information, country.

    Preference: for oral presentation or poster session.

    Session: Please choose one of the 9 thematic areas:

    1 - International context and project status 
    Includes (but not limited to):
    Mission design, mission ground segment
    Data distribution, science plans, calibration/validation plans
    Overall definition of products
    Exploring synergies between current and future space-based systems

    2 - Products & processings
    Includes (but not limited to):
    Level 1 (in-orbit calibration, radiometric and geometric correction of the products) processings
    Level 2 (atmospheric correction algorithms, Temperature-Emissivity separation, Directional effects, Cloud mask) processings
    Level 1 & 2 performance assessment
    Associated calibration/validation activities
     
    3 - Ecosystem stress & water use
    Includes (but not limited to):
    Monitoring of water & energy exchange of the continental biosphere
    Drought assessment for early mitigation of crop failures 
    Irrigation management through optimal irrigation scheduling based on crop water requirements and improving water use efficiency 
    Crop monitoring and yield forecasting

    4 - Coastal and inland waters
    Includes (but not limited to):
    Assessment of the sub-mesoscale activity in relation with coastal ecosystems productivity and of gas fluxes
    Water quality, algae blooms, fish resource, fresh water resurgences, water discharges and storm surges

    5 - Urban microclimate monitoring
    Includes (but not limited to):
    Urban heat island dynamic mapping & issuance of heat alerts/ warnings
    urban and peri-urban hydrology studies

    6 – Cryosphere
    Includes (but not limited to):
    Monitoring of the cryosphere in polar and mountainous regions, including seasonal snow, glaciers, frozen ground, lake and river ice.
    Societal applications including snowmelt-runoff and avalanche forecast 

    7 - Solid Earth
    Includes (but not limited to):
    Volcanic activity (detection of lava hot spots, study of lava flows, early detection of volcanic ash clouds)
    Thermal anomalies (sub-surface coal fires)
    Soil emissivities for geothermal exploration

    8 - Downstream activities and applications
    Includes (but not limited to):
    Potential commercial use of the distributed products

    9 - Products demo
    Demonstrations with simulated products, access to the distribution gateways and typical use cases.
