The workshop follows the successful 1st EARSeL Special Interest Group on Land Use and Land Cover (SIG LU/LC) and NASA Land-Cover/Land-Use Change (LCLUC) Program joint Workshop organized in Berlin 2014 with more than 150 participants from 4 continents. The 2nd EARSeL SIG LU/LC and NASA LCLUC joint Workshop is considered supportive to the objectives of the imminent following ESA Living Planet Symposium 2016 on 9–13 May 2016, as a brainstorming preparation and chance for specialists to formulate a common understanding and language prior to entering the wider discussions of the more diverse audience; in matters of background and expectations from land-cover products and the scientific community. The Workshop is organized around four representative sessions, covering the latest advances; trending activities and future challenges in land-cover services in the big data era. Eight (8) renowned keynote speakers will guide a vivid discussion, while contributions are attracted among the key enabling actors of Earth Observation in Europe (e.g. EEA and ESA), USA (e.g. NASA) and the World (e.g. GEO).
The four sessions are:
- 1. Harmonization of Sentinel-2 and Landsat products
- 2. Cross-scale and cross-sensor data fusion
- 3. Facing challenges in data mining and exploitation
- 4. EO benefits for ecosystem services and human wellbeing
Contributions are expected to be published in a special issue of the EARSeL eProceedings or the European Journal of Remote Sensing, both official Journals of EARSeL.
