• Remote Sensing Applications Division The Remote Sensing Applications Division (RSAD) works to promote the widespread use and understanding of remote sensing technology, data .analysis, and applications and provides a forum for the exchange of information and a structure for Society members to carry out the activities of the Division. Within RSAD, the Education, Research, and Innovation Committee provides coordi nation with the ASPRS Education Committee, seeking out new and innovative technolo gies and techniques, such as expert systems and artificial intelligence. This committee disseminates information on educational opportunities for individuals interested in re mote sensing, and reviews remote sensing research performed in the United States. The educational activities of RSAD are aimed primarily at the continuing education of practicing professionals. The approach to fulfilling this philosophy is twofold. First, the Remote Sensing Applications Division sponsors at least one technical session at the . Spring and Fall ASPRS/ACSM Conventions on a specific topic. Authorities are asked to present short papers, and the papers are coordinated in such a way that the topic is covered in an logically progressive manner. Secondly, the RSAD works closely with the recently-formed ASPRS Workshops Committee to propose one-day workshops for more in-depth presentation of specific topics. Remote sensing and CIS technologies are evolving rapidly, and it is important for professionals to remain abreast of changes and new developments. Workshops are typically held in conjunction with the spring and fall meetings. Because the workshops usually have a limited enrollment, the detailed cover age of subject matter permits the attendees to gain expertise they might not be able to obtain otherwise. , » Geographic Information Systems Division The Geographic Information Systenhs Division (GISD) is the most recently established of the five ASPRS Divisions. This Division provides a forum for discussion and dissem ination of information concerning application techniques and system technology related to design, development, use, and maintenance of spatial databases, with emphasis on geographic and land information systems (GIS/LIS). Coordination is probably the key word in the GIS Division's philosophy. With the Na tional Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA) development of a core curriculum for GIS, and various professional societies — including ASPRS — sponsoring GIS/LIS meetings, it is important for the GISD to work closely with these groups for the betterment of GIS education and technology transfer. » The. Division routinely sponsors several GIS technical sesions at the Spring and Fall ASPRS/ACSM meetings, as well as supporting the annual GIS/LIS convention. One fact which cannot be overlooked is the continuing need for introductory workshops in GIS. Even though the technology continually becomes more widely used and increasingly so phisticated, there are still large numbers of people who need education and training in the basic concepts. Aware of this, the GISD, along with the ASPRS Workshops Commit tee and other Society-groups, offers tutorials and hands-on workshops on the funda mentals of GIS as well as on more advanced topics. Additionally, the education committee within the GIS Division develops and presents seminars on geographic infor mation systems, application technology, and implementation of cadastral databases, and is involved in coordinating other inter-Society multimedia presentations. Also, the joint ASPRS/ACSM GIS/LIS Committee recently has compiled a list of GlS-related videotape programs and presentations. This effort reflects the trend of the Society as a whole to publicize and make available educational media in the mapping sciences. • • Photogrammetric Applications Division The Photogrammetric Applications Division (PAD) exists to promote the widespread use and understanding of photogrammetry and its various applications including trans- 110
