SIOS Knowledge Centre and the SIOS Remote Sensing Working Group invite abstract submissions from anyone involved in Earth System Science research in Svalbard including remote sensing, fieldwork and modeling.
- Date: Mon 11th - Weds 13th November 2024
- Location: Online
- Programme: to be confirmed
The conference aims to:
- Provide a forum for those engaged in Earth System Science research in Svalbard - from Early Career Researchers to senior scientists - to share their latest results and network.
- Reduce the cost and environmental impact of conference participation.
- Review the state-of-the-art in Earth Observation and Remote Sensing applications in Svalbard.
- Demonstrate the breadth of Earth System Science research undertaken in Svalbard using remote sensing, fieldwork and modeling.
Scope of the conference
SIOS is an international observing system for long-term in situ and remotely sensed measurements in and around Svalbard addressing Earth System Science (ESS) questions. SIOS research infrastructures are distributed across the archipelago and collect long-term in situ measurements. These in situ measurements are complemented by remote sensing and modeling studies.
This conference builds on the success of earlier SIOS Online Remote Sensing conferences (2020, 2021, 2022), initiated in response to the travel restrictions imposed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. One of SIOS's aims is to reduce the environmental impact of research in Svalbard, meaning there is still a place for an online conference which eliminates cost and the necessity to travel. Going forward the SIOS online conference will be held every second year, alternating with the Svalbard Science Conference, which is held in person in Oslo. The scope of the conference is also being expanded beyond Earth Observation and Remote Sensing, welcoming abstracts from anyone involved in Earth System Science research in Svalbard.
SIOS Knowledge Centre and the SIOS Remote Sensing Working Group invite abstract submissions from anyone involved in Earth System Science research in Svalbard including remote sensing, fieldwork and modeling. This could include, but is not limited to:
- Spaceborne, airborne, ground-based and marine remote sensing in Svalbard.
- Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles in Svalbard.
- Calibration and Validation (Cal/Val) activities for satellite missions conducted in Svalbard.
- Results from the "SIOS-Planet" call and 2020 and 2021 Dornier airborne remote sensing calls.
- Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning applications in Svalbard.
- Modeling studies in Svalbard and surrounding waters.
- Field studies, long-term monitoring projects and the use of SIOS Research Infrastructure.
- Svalbard studies in the terrestrial, cryosphere, marine, atmosphere, space and biological domains including cross disciplinary studies
