Close Range Morphological Measurement for the Earth Sciences - ISPRS V6 Sessions in 2012

Via the GEOMORPHLIST comes this announcement about upcoming sessions on the topic of "close range morphological measurement for the Earth sciences" organized by Working Group V6 of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS). The stated goal of ISPRS Working Group V6 is to promote and coordinate activities involving the spatial measurement of natural objects at close range using a variety of modern geomatics technologies, including: digital photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanning. Activities are of interest to those involved in: 3D reconstruction for: geomorphology, earth science, hydrology, agriculture, forestry, glaciology, geology, surface roughness and climate change studies.

These look like very relevant sessions for the Earth science terrestrial lidar community. Abstract deadlines are fast approaching. Full announcement:

ISPRS V6- "close range morphological measurement for the Earth sciences" abstracts required for V6 sessions in 2012!?

Working group V6 of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) is coordinating two events in 2012 which we are hoping you may wish to contribute to, in New York and Melbourne. ISPRS Working Group V/6 aims to promote and coordinate activities involving the spatial measurement of natural objects at close range using a variety of modern geomatics technologies, including: digital photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanning. Activities are of interest to those involved in: 3D reconstruction for: geomorphology, earth science, hydrology, agriculture, forestry, glaciology, geology, surface roughness and climate change studies.

Melbourne Congress- 28th of August- 1 September 2012

V6 has managed to secure a Themed Session through collaboration with Working Group IV/8, which should provide a mixed audience. To this we should also add at least one poster and one other oral session dedicated to our activities. Key dates include:

deadline for abstract submission: 24th of October 2011

status of acceptance: 28th of February 2012

submission for papers: 30th of April 2012

Further details included in the second announcement: (http://isprsv6.lboro.ac.uk/reports/ISPRS%202012.pdf) or please examine the Congress website: http://www.isprs2012.org/

The Association of American Geographers, New York- 24th to 28 February, 2012

James Dietrich is coordinating the AAG session of ISPRS V6 and draw your attention to the deadline abstract submission of the 28th September 2011! Further details: http://isprsv6.lboro.ac.uk/aag%20session%20document/AAG_ISPRS_Session.pdf
