First
International Workshop on
“Temporal Analysis of Satellite Images”
May 23-25, 2012
In light of the large numbers of abstracts submitted and accepted, the organizing committee has decided to start the Temporal Workshop a day earlier, on May 23 to give more room to presentations and discussions. Please book your flight and hotel accordingly.
Scope and Topics
This workshop intends to be a forum for discussion of research issues related to temporal analysis of remotely sensed data. Since the launch of Landsat-1 in 1972, a large number of earth observation satellites have been launched. The wealth of multitemporal data provides excellent opportunities to study environmental changes at local, regional and global scale. The workshop includes a wide arrays of topics such as:
• Multitemporal image calibration and correction
• Landsat, NOAA AVHRR, MODIS, MERIS, SPOT VGT Data Archive
• Multitemporal SAR and InSAR data analysis
• Cross-sensor satellite data - data fusion
• Methodology for analysis of temporal data
• Change detection methods
• Landuse and land cover dynamics
• Vegetation dynamics and ecological processes
• Applications of multitemporal data
.
Call for Submission
Please submit your abstract of 500 words to the EARSeL Conference
Management System at the http://www.conferences.earsel.org/.
Accepted papers will be included in the EI-indexed conference proceedings.

Venue
The Workshop will be hosted at the Royal Myconian Hotel on Mykonos Island, Greece (http://www.royalmyconian.gr).
Mykonos can be reached by plane or by ferry. There are many direct flights from most of the European countries to the International Airport of Mykonos (JMK) during the summer season. There are also many flights per day from Athens International Airport "El. Venizelos" to Mykonos Airport. For more information please visit one of the following airline companies' website to book online:
1. Olympic Air
2. Aegean Airlines
There are also many ferries travelling from Piraeus or Rafina Port
to
Mykonos. The trip depending the type of the ferry takes between 2 and 6
hours.
From Piraeus you can board the Blue Star, Hellenic Sea Ways
and Aegean Speed Lines. Alternatively you can get a boat from Rafina
with the following shipping companies: Blue Star, Hellenic Saw Ways,
Cyclades Fast Ferries and Sea Jets. The island is generally considered
to be relatively small. Public transports are well organized and
consistent, but if you want to avoid overcrowding you can hire either a
motorbike or a car. The town offers two large municipal parking places
where you can park.
Further information about Mykonos Island can be found at the Municipality of Mykonos website.
