Abstract Submission

Note: Abstract submission deadline extended to January 12, 2009.

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 2008 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 Cape Town will be published in the symposium proceedings.

Please note the following important notes regarding the distribution of IGARSS 2009 abstracts and proceedings:

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 June 21, 2009.
To give participants information about what is being presented, electronic media containing all IGARSS 2009 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 April 26, 2009.

The entire submission process and requirements are detailed in the Paper Kit.
