Remote sensing and drug control

Reports rarely contain any reference to remote sensing.

The global land degradation assessment and the work of the six pilot countries will allow identification of ways in which the assessment can be done at different scales using harmonized methodologies.

There are 7 universities in Finland that study remote sensing or space science.

The Committee stressed the importance of remote sensing technology for sustainable development and emphasized, in that connection, the importance of providing non discriminatory access to state of the art remote sensing data and to derived information at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner.

New programmes are being planned in the fields of satellite remote sensing and space science.

(d) To upgrade participants' knowledge of current remote sensing techniques and teaching methods

In the course of the discussions, delegations reviewed national and cooperative programmes in remote sensing.

(e) The role of remote sensing to support disaster management in Indonesia , by the representative of Indonesia

With regard to remote sensing activities, such building blocks should also include the following

As indicated in paragraph 10 above, ILA has focused on remote sensing and national space legislation.

The Subcommittee emphasized the importance of providing non discriminatory access to remote sensing data and to derived information at reasonable cost and in a timely manner and of building capacity for the adoption and use of remote sensing technology, in particular to meet the needs of developing countries.

(c) Satellite communications in support of remote sensing applications and disaster management , by the representative of Austria.

That network could be the nucleus for the establishment of a regional association of remote sensing and GIS educators

The representative of the Republic of Korea made a technical presentation entitled Remote sensing satellite programme in the Republic of Korea .

Here, a minimum of two additional sensors are added to help the system work these are a steering wheel angle sensor, and a gyroscopic sensor.

It is noted that limited access to technology for geographical information systems (GIS) and or remote sensing remains a widespread concern.

The Committee underlined the importance of building capacity in the adoption and use of remote sensing technology, in particular to meet the needs of developing countries.

It has close links to meteorology and climatology and also covers the design and construction of instruments for studying the atmosphere and the interpretation of the data they provide, including remote sensing instruments.

Remote sensing and telecommunications had become indispensable in agriculture, education, environmental protection, natural resources management and navigation systems.

Significant changes in ground cover can be measured using remote sensing techniques.

The services are intended to respond to slow onset disasters such as famine and desertification, as well as to sudden emergencies such as tsunamis, earthquakes and floods. ZKI is a service of the German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) of DLR.

In addition, pilot countries will be fundamental in the dissemination of harmonized assessment tools in their regions and are expected to assist other countries that are interested in carrying out detailed national land degradation assessments in the future they will also be fundamental in refining the findings of the global study.

Those centres provided regular postgraduate training in topics such as remote sensing, GIS, telecommunications, satellite meteorology and global climate.

16. Encourages the further use of space based and ground based remote sensing technologies, as well as the sharing of geographical data, for the prevention, mitigation and management of natural disasters, where appropriate

17. Encourages the further use of space based and ground based remote sensing technologies, as well as the sharing of geographical data, for the prevention, mitigation and management of natural disasters, where appropriate

The Subcommittee encouraged further international cooperation in the use of remote sensing satellites, in particular by sharing experiences and technologies through bilateral, regional and international collaborative projects.

The need to integrate remote sensing data into hydrological systems was emphasized, coupled with the use of cartography, field monitoring and modelling, which were all essential for the implementation of an early warning system.

(m) International cooperation is called upon to play a major role in carrying out remote sensing activities, particularly in resolving differences between developed and developing countries

Encourages the further use of space based and ground based remote sensing technologies as well as the sharing of geographical data for the prevention, mitigation and management of natural disasters, where appropriate

Encourages the further use of space based and ground based remote sensing technologies, as well as the sharing of geographical data, for the prevention, mitigation and management of natural disasters, where appropriate

Those initiatives included UNOSAT, RESPOND and the Center for Satellite Based Crisis Information (ZKI) of DLR.

Remote sensing technology, while comparatively cheaper than field surveys, can be made more accessible, and its use is facilitated by joint programmes among remote sensing specialists, soil scientists and end users in order to identify vulnerable areas.

In addition, a P 3 post under the illicit crop monitoring programme carrying out ongoing essential remote sensing work has been added.

(i) Domestic legislation should address, in a first stage, issues relating to the protection and distribution of data and licensing procedures, with a view to giving greater transparency to remote sensing activities

The participating institutions have established a base for the harmonized collection of data relating to indicators of pressure state, impact and response at the different levels, particularly by using remote sensing techniques and GIS.

In particular, Iraq asserts that remote sensing data do not indicate a significant change in rangeland biomass beyond 1991.

Each remote sensing instrument collects data about the atmosphere from a remote location and, usually, stores the data where the instrument is located.
