CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
--------------------------------------

Studying, understanding and protecting the earth and its environment are
issues of crucial importance for the sustainment

and development of our society. Global climate change, severe weather, and
catastrophic natural hazards such as volcanic

eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, etc, require new scientific
methodologies for their study. Understanding

their governing dynamics and striving towards their timely detection,
prediction, and prevention can help protect lives

and properties, and minimize economic impact. The field of Geoinformatics
focuses on the development of novel scientific

algorithms and the implementation of computational methods to provide
solutions to pressing earth-related problems.

Recent advances in ground, air- and space-borne sensor technologies have
provided scientists from different disciplines

an unprecedented access to earth-related data. These developments are
quickly leading towards a data-rich but

information-poor environment. The rate at which geospatial data are being
generated clearly exceeds our ability to

organize and analyze them to extract patterns critical for understanding in
a timely manner a dynamically changing world.

These massive amounts of data require the use of an integrated framework
based on Geographic information science (GIS) to

address a variety of scientific questions, such as identifying strong
patterns, clustering similar data points, detecting

anomalies, and abstracting relevant information from sequences of satellite
imagery.

The scope of this workshop is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas
and the establishment of synergistic

activities among scientists working in fields such as geographic information
science (GIS), data mining, machine

learning, geoinformatics, remote sensing, as well as natural hazards, earth
and atmospheric sciences. During this one-day

event we aim to bring together these scientific communities, which are
overlapping but not always interacting.
