Attracting thousands of scientists and data users, ESA’s Living Planet S ymposia are amongst the biggest Earth observation conferences in the world. For decades now Earth observation has played a fundamental role in advanci ng our understanding of how our planet works and how it is being affected b y climate change. While the need to continue to advance our knowledge and m onitor global change remains paramount, Earth observation has entered a new era where it is playing a key role in a myriad of everyday applications to improve daily lives and is also becoming increasingly relevant for the com petitive business sector.
The Living Planet Symposium 2019 promises t o be bigger and wider ranging than ever before. The event will not only see scientists present their latest findings on Earth’s environment and climat e derived from satellite data, but will also focus on Earth observation’s r ole in building a sustainable future and a resilient society. Participants will also be able to explore how emerging technologies are revolutionising the use of Earth observation and how business and the economy can benefit f rom this new epoch.
Registration Deadline: 30 April< /p>

Sea Ice Sessions coming up here:
A2.09 Retrievals of sea ice prope
rties and processes
Sea ice is an important component of the polar sys
tems and it is changing rapidly. Accurate and systematic observations are r
equired to better understand and predict sea ice changes. We invite abstrac
ts about retrievals of sea ice properties and processes from any kind of sa
tellite remote sensing, or from combinations of satellite and airborne or i
n-situ observations that can advance our capability to better observe sea i
ce from space, and to comprise components of near-future polar regions obse
rving systems.
