    The Workshop

      The event continues the tradition of the thematic workshops on Lidar Remote Sensing of Land and Sea (1991-2000) and the workshop Remote Sensing and GIS for Coastal Zone Management (1994). It focuses on Coastal Zones and covers all methods of remote sensing suitable for this complex environment, with emphasis on methods, technology and applications.

      Only reviewed papers will be published on CD ROM in the EARSeL eProceedings Series.

      Topics:

        • physical dynamics of currents, tides, waves and sediment transport
        • morphodynamical processes and their relevance for coastal engineering
        • flux and transformation of seawater constituents including pollutants
        • interaction of physical, biological and chemical conditions and processes
        • GIS and Coastal Zone Management

      and their investigation with Remote Sensing:
        • active and passive methods in all spectral ranges, sensor combinations
        • satellite, airborne and ground-based methods including ground truth
        • modelling of radiative transfer, image processing and related aspects.
        • interaction of physical, biological and chemical conditions and processes

      The working language at the Workshop will be English.

    Location

      The workshop took place in Het Pand. Het Pand is an old Dominican monastery, located in the heart of the city of Ghent on the banks of the river Leie, near the medieval port with the guildhalls. This building is presently property of Ghent University and functions as cultural centre.
