Centennial: Earth Observation Capabilities and Future Needs I Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 43193

Session Description:
Since the launch of the first Earth Resources Technology Satellite 1 in 1972, Earth observation technology has evolved rapidly and transformed science research innovation. The USGS is partnering with U.S. Federal agencies, incorporating input from state/local, academic, industry, and international communities, to document current usage and benefits, and future needs for Earth observation data and products. These activities promote a needs-driven, prioritized investment decision process for Earth observation systems, products, and services to better serve the broad land imaging community. This session will provide an overview of the current landscape of Earth observation capabilities, applications, user needs for future systems, and the future landscape of remote sensing including the rapidly expanding commercial sector. This session will highlight activities within U.S. Federal agencies, academic, state/local, and international communities. We also invite submissions showcasing new and emerging multi-disciplinary Earth observation applications, technology trends, and future needs and opportunities to advance the biogeosciences.
