Introduction
The 2019 IEEE GRSS Summer School (GR4S) on “Modeling in Microwave and Optical Remote Sensing” will be held in Beijing, China. It will be merged into the ninth Beijing Normal University Summer School on “Land Surface Satellite Data Inversion and Applications” (July 18-22). The Beijing 2019 International Summer School on “Land Surface Satellite Data Inversion and Applications” is the ninth in a series of Summer Schools on Land Remote Sensing Inversion and Applications held in Beijing, China, following eight editions in 2011-2018 all of which were very successful and appreciated.
Rational
Remote sensing using Earth-orbiting satellites, is one of the most effective tools for providing data that help researchers address global issues. In the past few decades, advances in remote sensing technology have greatly enhanced the potential applications of satellite data in many fields, and various models have been developed to transfer the raw satellite data into high-level products. This year’s IEEE GR4S in Beijing will offer to the attendees an opportunity to gain excellent introductory knowledge in various remote sensing models.
The focus will be on Masters, PhD students and early scientists dealing with remote sensing and geosciences topics. The summer school is a contribution by the GRSS towards human capital development internationally, with a further objective of attracting the next generation of practitioners – today’s students - to become aware of GRSS and its benefits.
