Irena Hajnsek, Scott Hensley, Toshio Iguchi, Michael
King, Konstantinos Papathanassiou, Daniele Riccio, and
Jiancheng Shi. Plenary speakers provided diverse overviews on how remote sensing is impacting international
energy production, in both renewable and traditional
markets. Winners of the 2014 Student Prize Paper Competition were announced and presented at the awards
banquet, and publications awards were recognized at the
Editors luncheon.
The Symposium was preceded by a very successful
Remote Sensing Summer School at INRS (Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique) and a day of tutorials on Sunday. We are especially appreciative of the efforts of the Technical Committee headed by co-chairs
Dr. Josée Lévesque, Dr. Jean-Marc Garneau, and Dr. Ellsworth LeDrew, who managed submission and selection
process, and the dynamic assignment of papers to sessions in the months leading up to the Symposium. This
year's exhibits were especially well attended as attendees
enjoyed interacting with representatives of space agencies and industry during the break periods.
The social activities are always a highlight for
IGARSS. The Young Professionals Luncheon was a sellout. Led by Fabio Pacifici and Irena Hajnsek, attendees
shared their interests and provided input for engaging
