Welcome to the HMRSC website!

Terms of Reference:

Bi-annual Symposium:

(1) Paper and poster presentation

(2) Field excursion (integral part of each symposium)

General topic:

Application of remotely sensed image data (terrestrial, airborne, spaceborne) and other collateral data for information extraction in high mountain areas;

and cartographic representation of this data/information in maps (analog, digital, line maps, image maps, combined image-line maps, etc.) and within GIS-based environments;

and application-oriented analysis.

Emphasis is put on inter-disciplinarity:

Persons interested in: Geosciences (geographers, geologists, geomorphologists, glaciologists, etc.), cartographers, photogrametrists, remote sensing experts, computer experts, biologists, tourism agents, regional planners, etc.

Provide a platform for young scientists (post-graduate students, PhD-students, post-docs, etc.).

Give a forum to decision makers (tourism agents, park managers, regional planers, environmental activists) to learn about HMRSC

Field excursion:

Come to know an interesting high mountain region

Discussion of application oriented projects carried out in this region

Field guide, handouts, explanation by experts, usage of image data and maps, in-situ studies

Discussion, social contacts, sharing common interests, e.g. high mountain scenery, meeting mountain people, experiencing other cultures, etc.)

Area of interest:

High mountain areas of the world (Alps, Andes, Himalayas, etc.)
