WORKSHOP SUMMARY SHEET - 10 JUNE 1999 
Organized by: 
John Trinder (Secretary General ISPRS) and Klaas Jan Beek (Congress Director ISPRS) 
The Workshop will cover space sensors for Earth observation and their applications for land use/land cover studies, including high 
resolution electro-optical imagery', hyperspectral and radar from space. The Workshop will describe the characteristics of these 
systems and their potential for land cover mapping, resource and climate monitoring, and applications for sustaining development. 
Methods of data fusion and its benefits for terrain analysis will also be discussed. 
The Workshop will be Co-Chaired by Prof. John Trinder (UNSW, Australia) and Prof. Klaas Jan Beek (ITC, The Netherlands). 
Speakers and topics include: 
• Prof. A. Skidmore (IfC, The Netherlands): Vegetation, Rangeland Degradation, Radar/Tropical Forest Management 
Monitoring 
• Prof. G. Konecny (Univ. Hannover, Germany): Remote Sensing Technology 
• Dr. Lucien Wald (Ecole des Mines de Paris, France): Image Fusion 
• Dr. D. P. Rao (NRSA, India): Sustainable Development and Remote Sensing 
• Dr. Ir. W. Bastiaansen (IIMI, The Netherlands): Water Resources Monitoring and Management with Remote Sensing 
• Lennart Olson (Sweden): Global (climate) Monitoring
