1061 Symposium on Remote Sensing for Resources Development and Environmental Management/ Enschede / August 1986 © 1987Balkema, Rotterdam. ISBN 90 6191 674 7 Working Group 5: Non-renewable resources B.N.Koopmans Liaison 1 INTRODUCTION The Working Group was chaired by D. Mouat with co- chairmen B. Koopmans and N. Rengers. 5 Working Group sessions have been held during the symposium and one combined session jwith Working Group II Microwave Data. A total of fifteen, papers were presented oral ly and about as much posters. During the main ses sions, two "invited-speaker" presentations were pre sented on Non-renewable resources topics. The Working Group sessions were dealing with the following topics: 1. remote sensing for regional geological mapping and global resource assessment 2. radar application in geology (combined session) 3. remote sensing for engineering and mining pro jects 4. various methods of geological data extraction 5. environmental hazard studies using remote sensing During these sessions also topics as geo-informa tion systems, geobotany, and advanced sensor/data handling techniques were treated. Twenty scientists participated in the business meeting of the Working Group in order to discuss activities of the group as well as problems and fu ture activities involving remote sensing and geol ogy. 2 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The recommendations from the Toulouse symposium (1982) were partially solved by the meeting of the Working Group in Enschede (1986). It was agreed that the Working Group should con tinue as an ad-hoc group. No direct activities were planned before the Kyoto Congress (1988). With the experience gained during the Enschede meeting it was advised for the Kyoto meeting to programme more pos ter sessions relative to oral presentations. The poster sessions were felt as very informative and allowing for ample discussions and getting acquain ted with the different research topics in progress in the different countries. It was also felt recom- mendable to have more sessions directed to specific topics of interest during the Kyoto congress and to plein more/joint sessions with other Working Groups covering overlapping fields of interest. The joint session on radar and geology with Working Group II during the symposium was felt as being successful and recommended also for Kyoto. Other joint sessions could be: image processing for geology, geobotany, and thermal infrared for geology. Concern was expressed regarding the rising cost of satellite data, specifically with respect to educa tion and research. New problems have arisen in addi tion to costs. The continuity of availability of satellite data needs to be guaranteed if research is to be maintained. The wish for stereoscopy of satellite data, an im portant long-standing requirement of the geological remote sensing community, has been partially met by SPOT. Future research of stereoscopy with SPOT im- agery will show the benefit of this new technique. The different remote sensing systems remain somewhat incompatible as far as data integration is concerned. However, it should be realized that systems are some what application-specific. Integration of different data sets is felt as being of prime importance in applications. Not only that the remote sensing data sets should be made compat ible, and combinations of microwave, thermal and vis ible part of the spectrum should allow for optimal data extraction, but also combinations with geophysi cal, geochemical and geological field data should allow for geological/geographical information sys tems. These methods for data integration should re ceive attention of the Working Group and are proposed as future specific topic. Other topics which have been proposed to receive more attention by remote sensing geologists are: 1. Importance of new sensor systems (including micro- wave, high spectral resolution systems and thermal systems); 2. Methods for analysis; 3. Geobotany and bio-geochemistry aspects. Finally the importance of government policy in dic tating the future of research and development in geo logical remote sensing cannot be understated. It is imperative that geological remote sensing scientists lobby government policy makers to ensure an effective dissemination of data. 3 SUNMARY 3.1 At the Enschede symposium, 15 papers were pre sented and as many poster session topics of: - geo-information systems - lineament analysis - mineral exploration - geobotany - geomorphology - advanced sensors/techniques - microwave remote sensing for geology. 3.2 Since the last symposium we have seen the follow ing changes in satellite data: - spatial resolution has increased - spectral resolution has increased - radiometric resolution has increased - stereo capability - data integration through geo-information systems - cost of R.S. data has increased 3.3 The following problems were identified: - lack of system compatibility - difficulty in data acquisition - cost of data - cost of data processing facilities 3.4 Recommendations for future directions - data integration and geo-information systems - attention to basin analysis - emphasis on exploration research - geobotany and metal stress - computational techniques for multidata integration - solicitate papers from industry 3.5 Recommendations for Kyoto Working Group V: - emphasis on poster sessions
