| EDUCATION AND OUTREACH - PURPOSE |
The IGARSS'08 technical program contained traditional IGARSS topics and a broader program to reflect the theme "Geoscience and Remote Sensing: the Next Generation." The theme was chosen to emphasize the opportunities for the next generation of remote sensing researchers and innovators. 
Students were shown the challenges and global responsibilities to map, evaluate, and observe the Earth’s environment through interactive workshops and displays. Several hands-on events were held specifically for students in the K-12 grades to increase their awareness of remote sensing and how it will affect their future.
Outreach co-coordinators for this event were Dr. Barry Rock of the University of New Hampshire and Dr. Linda Hayden of Elizabeth City State University. |
