ISPRS - ICORSE - The International Committee On Remote Sensing of Environment
The ICORSE has been established to foster the use of remote sensing to address priority issues of the environment. ICORSE will convene a biannual conference in alternating years with the
ISPRS Commission Symposia. The conference will focus on remote sensing of the environment and will bring together scientists, technologists and environmental users of remotely sensed data. In
conformance with ISPRS Guidelines, (a) the conference proceedings will be made available to the ISPRS community as part of the continuing series of the International Archives of The
Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences (IAPRSSIS), and (b) the committee will provide an annual report on the state of remote sensing of environment for
publication in ISPRS Highlights.
