9:30: Breakfast
9:30 – 9:45: Introduction, Bob Chen,
Deputy Director, CIESIN, and Manager, SEDAC
9:45 – 10:00: Workshop Goals, Francesca
Pozzi, Research Associate, CIESIN
10:00 – 10:30: Remote Sensing Overview, Chris
Small, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, co-Project Scientist,
SEDAC
10:30 – 12:30: Demonstration and discussion
of prototype derived products:
- (10:30-11:30) Land cover classification:
how can this be tailored to users’ needs, which classes are
useful to identify, potential applications
- (11:30-12:30) Vegetation Fraction Index
and Vegetation Change Detection: uses and applications
12:30 – 1:15: Lunch (catered)
1:15 – 2:00: Discussion on users’ needs:
- Other possible applications (emergency
management, flood mapping etc)
- Scale
- Timing: what is required to make
imagery and associated data valuable to users?
- Other relevant datasets and their
integration with remotely sensed data
- Issues of privacy and sensitive
information
2:00 – 2:30: Discussion: Mechanisms for data
sharing.
2:30 – 2:45: Break and change location (to
Geoscience)
2:45 – 4:30: Hands On: Visit to Remote Sensing
and Visual Lab and discussion of the images and the prototype derived
products in more details.
- Discussion of other satellite products
