- 4th EARSeL Workshop on Remote Sensing in Education and Training
4 June 2013
Matera, Italy
Presentations are invited on the current use of earth observation as a
support tool for education, training, and capacity building with
emphasis on the following topics:
- Earth observation for kids
- Earth observation and its associated use to support science
education at schools and universities
- Environmental science as a tool in cooperative learning and
teaching, in enquiry-based learning, and in other educational
practices for tomorrow's schools
- Earth observation and its use as educational support in areas like
biology, chemistry, geography, physics, and mathematics curricula in
the classroom but also in continuous individual learning
- Training activities in GMES, with a focus on environment, climate
change and natural disasters, in GEOSS, and other international
programmes
- Earth observation and its use for public outreach of Environmental
Sciences and Global Change

- 6th EARSeL Workshop on Remote Sensing of the Coastal Zone
6-7 June 2013
Matera, Italy
The workshop focuses on the impact of our climate on coastal zones and
inland waters, on climate change and its expected effects on European
seas, and on the role of remote sensing for its study. Topics include:
- Changing terrestrial run-off into coastal waters
- Escalation of extreme coastal events: floods, storms, high tides
- Hydrology and water budget evolution of rivers and lakes
- Increasing temperatures in inland and coastal waters
- Impact of varying physical forcing on morphodynamics and
ecosystems
- New developments of habitats, biodiversity and alien invaders
- Fluxes and fate of seawater constituents, including pollutants
- Role of Coastal Zone Management in adapting to climate change
Topics involving investigation with remote sensing include:
- Active and passive methods in all spectral ranges, sensor
combinations
- Satellite, airborne and ground-based methods including ground
truth
- Modeling of radiative transfer, image processing and related
aspects
- Interaction of physical, biological and chemical conditions and
processes
- Ocean color remote sensing for coastal and inland waters
