COSPAR 2026 Meeting Call for Abstracts

📣 Call for abstracts – hashtagCOSPAR2026

Coastal communities face escalating risks from sea level rise, erosion, extreme events, and human impacts. Strengthening resilience depends on improved integration of satellite observations, in situ data, and modelling capacities.

At COSPAR 2026, which will be held in Florence, Italy, this August, our co-organised session “Coastal Resilience to Hazards: Bridging the Gap Between Earth Observations and User Needs” will gather experts working on coastal hazards, climate adaptation, and decision-support tools.

NASA ARSET Training: Land Use Land Cover Changes with Satellite Imagery Feb 24 & 26, 2026

Visualizing Land Cover and Land Use Change with NASA Satellite Imagery
February 24 & February 26, 2026
11:00–13:00 & 14:00–16:00 EST (UTC-5)

Land cover and land use change (LCLUC) describes the myriad of ways our world changes around us. Every new building, each vacant lot, the expansion and retreat of forests or wetlands, are all examples of LCLUC. These changes may be slow or sudden, but understanding the ways in which our landscape is changing gives us the opportunity to better anticipate and avoid problems which may arise. This two-part training covers some of the ways that we can use NASA data to determine what is happening on the ground and how that changes over time. Participants will see examples of supervised and unsupervised classification models implemented in the R statistical coding language, and improve their understanding of how these models can be used to produce maps and metrics of LCLUC.
