Why is this meeting important?

•	Unique biodiversity and reef ecosystems may be threatened by climate change and anthropogenic activity.
•	Scientists and governments need better assessment and monitoring of marine, atmospheric, and global environments.
•	Remote sensing is an essential technology for collecting data.

Why a remote sensing conference in New Caledonia?

•	New Caledonia is a typical example of an island under development that wants to protect its incredible preserved ecosystems.
•	New Caledonia has strong scientific knowledge of local environmental challenges.
•	The reef and lagoon in New Caledonia have been made a UNESCO world heritage site, July 2008.

Topics you'll hear:

•	Theoretical basis, technical approaches, and application methods of marine, land, and atmosphere remote sensing
•	Active and passive technique technologies
•	Coastal zone management applications
•	Weather, air quality, and climate monitoring and prediction applications
