Abstract Submission

Participation in IGARSS is open to all individuals interested in or working in the fields of geoscience and remote sensing. Abstracts received by the deadline will be considered for program placement under the standard peer review process. Late abstracts cannot be accepted due to the large number of submissions and short review schedule. The IEEE IGARSS 2010 Technical Program Committee will organize all accepted abstracts into either oral or interactive poster sessions based upon their potential contribution to the symposium and the composition of high-quality sessions.

Attention publishing authors! Only accepted papers that are registered and presented at the symposium in Hawaii will be published in the symposium proceedings.

Please note the following important notes regarding the distribution of IGARSS 2010 abstracts and proceedings:

1. Full papers will be made available to all attendees after the symposium. Attendees may elect to receive a CD-ROM through the mail or be given access to a protected website. Papers that are not presented at the symposium will not appear in the proceedings. This will enable full papers to be accepted until July 2, 2010.
2. To give participants information about what is being presented, electronic media containing all IGARSS 2010 abstracts will be distributed to all registered attendees at the symposium. Authors of accepted papers will have an opportunity to revise their abstracts for inclusion on the electronic media until the deadline of May 7, 2010.

Conference Proceedings

Presenting authors with accepted abstracts are encouraged but not required to publish their paper(s) in the conference proceedings. Only papers submitted, registered and presented at the conference will be published in the IGARSS 2010 proceedings and hence will be citable and searchable by the Engineering Index. If an author chooses to publish in the conference proceedings, the following instructions apply:

• Log in to the symposium website www.igarss2010.org to follow instructions for submitting full paper(s).
• All full papers must be submitted by the deadline of July 2, 2010.
• Student delegates paying a reduced student rate may only register one paper for the symposium. Regular delegates may register up to two papers. Co-authors may register and present papers on behalf of the first author.
