Pre-Symposium Workshops
Workshop 1:
Satellite Remote Sensing of Natural Hazards of
Hawai'i
Date: Saturday,
November 8, 2003
Time:
9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Limit: 15 (computer workstation set-up)
Cost: $30.00
Venue: Geology Department
Computer Room, University of Hawai'i at Manoa
Introduction to the analysis of real-time data
sets for Hawai'i and the SW Pacific through a computer based
tutorial, and the use of Landsat and EOS data in the monitoring of
transient events such as volcanic eruptions and fires.
Introduction to Field Trip 1 on Wednesday, November 12.
Bus departs Hotel at 8:30 a.m. Bus
returns to Hotel at 1:30 p.m.
Workshop 2:
Risk and
Vulnerability Applications and Networking Workshop
Date: Saturday, November
8, 2003
Time: 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Limit: 40 (classroom style)
Cost: $50.00
Venue: Sheraton Waikiki
Beach Resort
Workshop for scientists and decision makers
interested in science and technology applications and solutions for
natural hazard mitigation. Workshop will highlight
state-of-the-art disaster modeling and visualization, loss
estimation, remote sensing, and geographic information analysis
tools utilizing web-based information distribution and management
tools (including use of Integrated Decision Support System, enhanced
website, and online Interactive Natural Hazards and Vulnerabilities
Atlas). Workshop will focus on recent risk assessment and
vulnerability case studies for American Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu, and
Barbados.
Workshop 3:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
for Earth Science Research and Applications: Tactical Support
for Natural Disasters Detection, Characterization and
Response
Date: Saturday, November
8, 2003
Time: 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Limit: 50 (theater style)
Cost: $50.00
Venue: Sheraton Waikiki
Beach Resort
The goal of this Workshop will be to establish
personal contacts and develop a common understanding in the remote
sensing community about the potential usefulness of UAVs. The
workshop is organized as a forum of discussion, sharing ideas and
technical experience regarding the use of UAVs as remote sensing
platforms. Interactive presentations include 1) introduction
to the latest developments in UAV platform technologies and sensor
payloads; 2) facing the challenges of operating UAVs in
National Airspace; 3) potential applications of UAVs including
fire monitoring, disaster relief and homeland security; and 4)
actual applications and demonstrations of UAVS.
Workshop 4:
Remote Sensing of Coral Reefs of Hawai'i
Date: Saturday, November
8, 2003
Time: 1:30
p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Limit: 15 (computer
workstation set-up)
Cost: $30.00
Venue: Geology Department
Computer Room, University of Hawai'i at Manoa
Hawai'i has a
large percentage of all of the coral reefs in the United States, and
researchers in Hawai'i are some of the leaders in the use of hyper
spectral remote sensing for the analysis of reef health and
distribution. This computer-based workshop will introduce some
of these data processes techniques. While not a requirement,
this workshop is a good complement to Field Trip 2 on Wednesday,
November 12th when the reef in Kaneohe Bay will be visited.
Bus
departs Hotel at 1:00 p.m. Bus returns to Hotel at 6:00
p.m.
NOTE: Workshop 4 is now
full as of August 14. If you would like to be put on the
waiting list for this workshop, should spots open up, please
register. This will indicate that you are interested in this
activity and your name will be placed on the waiting list. You
will be sent an invoice for this activity if another person cancels their
attendance.
Workshop 5:
Web-based Information Centers for Remote
Sensing Application Development
Date: Sunday, November 9, 2003
Time: 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Limit: 15 (computer
workstation set-up)
Cost: $30.00
Venue:
Geology Department Computer Room, University of Hawai'i at Manoa
This workshop will provide participants with
different concepts in setting up web-based, geospatial information
centers to provide information that can be readily understood by
decision-makers in near real time. Preparation of the
interactive sessions is a joint effort from the Universities of
Texas, Arizona, Missouri, Hawai'i, and Towson under the NASA-funded
Synergy project. New approaches for developing fast Internet
mapping browsers, as well as techniques for distributing large
amounts of remotely-sensed and related geospatial data using Web
mapping methods will be discussed. The full life cycle of
developing remote sensing applications from gathering user
requirements to product development and distribution via the web
will be discussed. Specifically, the speakers will discuss the
full life cycle development in three application areas: Rangeland
monitoring, Urban mapping, and mapping of natural resources.
Participants in this workshop will be able to directly interact with
specialists in these application areas and network. The
speakers in this workshop are:
Mr. Tim Haithcoat – University of Missouri -
Columbia
Dr. Satya Kalluri - Raytheon
Dr. Stuart Marsh –
University of Arizona - Tucson
Dr. Jay Morgan – Towson
University
Ms. Dawn Ortiz – University of Texas at Austin
