The overall theme of the conference is to address subjects that are of majority interest to the global remote sensing community, as represented by the sponsor memberships. Therefore, an international committee of senior scientists and administrators has been established to guide the development of the program. An exhibit program is being planned but space is limited. Instructions and additional information, including possible poster contests, will be regularly posted to this site. Authors will receive notification about the status of their abstracts by 15 December 1997.
Electronic submission is the preferred method.
The conference program committee especially invites students to be an integral part of the conference. Therefore, posters identified as student submissions on the abstract will automatically be entered in a student poster contest, with cash prizes and certificates awarded at the conference. Winners will be selected by a panel of judges at the time of the poster viewing. Additional information about student aid will be published in future issues of the Bulletin. AMS will provide instructions to authors of accepted abstracts.
