There is a great need for free or low-cost, easy-to-use remote sensing software tools to help those who are not geospatial professionals make better use of image resources to enhance environmental mapping and analysis. The goal of this session is to highlight open source remote sensing tools and applications in environmental analysis. How are open source remote sensing tools being used in environmental analysis? Are remote sensing mapping algorithms incorporated in virtual earths to expand their analytical capability? How can we use Volunteered Geographic Information provided by informed citizens to validate and enhance remotely sensed information?</font></div><div><br></div><br><div>
