President's message
by Melba Crawford

o

n behalf of IEEE GRSS, I invite you to participate
in IGARSS 2014, our annual International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, which will
be held in Quebec City, Canada, from July 13-18. This
year's event is co-sponsored by the Canadian Remote
Sensing Society and is being held in conjunction with
the 35th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing.
The theme of IGARSS 2014 is "Energy and Our Changing Planet," highlighting issues related to energy resources as an important contemporary issue to which geoscience
and remote sensing can contribute

The organizing team, led by
SenSInG.
general chair Monique Bernier
and Technical Program chair Josee Levesque, has developed an
outstanding program representing the combined efforts of colleagues who participated in the review and
abstract selection process, and the Technical Program
Committee that met in Washington, DC, in March. In
addition to sessions focusing on remote sensing technologies, analysis methodologies, and applications,
the program includes regionally relevant and energy
focused sessions such as "Remote Sensing of Icebergs",
and "Renewable Resources." An excellent offering of

pre-conference tutorials led by internationally recognized experts includes many new topics, ranging from
introductory to advanced material.
Special events for students are also planned. The annual IGARSS Student Prize Paper contest continues to
grow in the number of submissions. We look forward
to excellent presentations by finalists at the special
session designated for the competition. The two-day
pre-conference GRSS Remote Sensing School is being
hosted this year by the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique. Social events, including a Young Professionals Luncheon and the traditional Soccer Game
are also planned.
The conference venue is the Québec City Convention Centre, an eco-friendly state-of-the-art facility
which won the 2006 Apex Award for the World's Best
Congress Centre. Located in the heart of Quebec City,
with its world-renowned 400-year old fortified city and
UNESCO World Heritage Site designation, international reputation for hospitality, and fine restaurants,
the Convention Centre promises to be an outstanding
location for IGARSS 2014/35th CSRS.
We look forward to seeing you in Quebec City in July!
Best Regards,
Melba Crawford
President, IEEE GRSS
