IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) - Reykjavík, 2027

The 47th annual 'International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - IGARSS 2027 will be held in Reykjavík in the summer of 2027.  As the flagship conference of GRSS, IGARSS is expected to bring over 2,500 esteemed scientists and professionals in the Remote Sensing field from around the world to Iceland.

IGARSS is organized by the Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS), one of the 39 Technical Societies of IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organization. Established in 1961, GRSS now includes over 5,000 members in 94 countries. The society is dedicated to advancing science, engineering, applications, and education in geoscience and remote sensing, aiming to make a positive contribution to society.

The IGARSS 2027 Conference, hosted in Iceland for the first time, will take place on July 4-9, 2027, at the Harpa Conference and Concert Centre and the University of Iceland, Reykjavík. The general theme of IGARSS 2027 is “Global Vision: Understanding and Mitigating Global Environmental Challenges”. The emphasis is on addressing critical issues concerning global preservation and building a resilient future for societies and ecosystems, through the use of advancements, trends, and applications in remote sensing in the digital Earth era. Special focus is given to the significant challenges faced by the Arctic region due to climate change, including the extensive melting of ice and snow. These changes have impacts that extend far beyond the Arctic, affecting the entire planet. The Scientific Program of IGARSS will include scientific publications, lectures, presentations, and technical forums, all specializing in remote sensing and processing techniques.

The main sponsor of IGARSS 2027 is the University of Iceland, supported by both domestic and international institutions. Additionally, the conference receives support from Meet in Reykjavik and KOMUM Conferences. The local organizing committee, comprising experts in remote sensing and international collaboration, is led by General Chairs, Jon Atli Benediktsson, Rector of the University of Iceland, and Professor Magnus Örn Úlfarsson, University of Iceland.

Erasmus+ Courses on Machine Learning and Data Fusion for Earth Observation

The programme aims at training professionals trained in the use of geospatial data coming from satellite for Earth Observation applications, such as the monitoring of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is based on a virtual mobility that provides the basic of machine learning techniques applied to satellite data sets and challenges the participants to provide answers to data processing questions in groups of students by different institutions collaborating on-line. The challenges, to be completed on an open cloud computing platform, refer to environmental monitoring problems in a real urban environment, and will be selected in accordance to a more than decadal experience by some of the instructors in the organizing group in the organization of international contests using EO data sets. By learning the basic of EO data processing, experiencing the limits and advantages of machine learnings techniques applied to satellite imagery, and solving real problems for a real environment, the virtual component of this blended programme is meant to provide the participants with new abilities, as well as a first example of both distance learning, which will prove important for their future professional career, and team working in a remote environment, which is becoming more and more widespread option for technical research and development, long before COVID.

The in-person part, organized in the urban area of Cremona, will complete the training by learning and the training by on-line doing with some practical activities on site, such as ground truth collection and result validation. This last part will therefore complete the training on the cycle of problem individuation, scenario simulation and output data analysis, and finally verification of the selected solution and the corresponding recorded data.

Prithvi-EO-2.0: A Versatile Multi-Temporal Foundation Model for Earth Observation Applications

Together with NASA and IBM Research our SDLs have jointly worked on an expanded version of the open-source geospatial artificial intelligence (AI) foundation model, Prithvi-EO. The new version Prithvi-EO-2.0 was pre-trained on the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC)’s JUWELS Booster Module using 240 NVIDIA A100 GPUs. It's now available on Hugging Face with new 300M and 600M parameter models that incorporate temporal and location embeddings. A technical paper is available on arXiv.

The updated version supports a broader range of geographical applications: It integrates global satellite data, enabling advanced Earth observation applications such as tracking land use changes, disaster monitoring, crop yield prediction, and environmental analysis on a planetary scale. It is also built on community feedback in order to significantly improve various applications. We’re happy to be an integral part of the work on Prithvi-EO-2.0, as it supports our goal of promoting interdisciplinary research combining remote sensing applications, AI as well as high-performance and innovative computing.

As part of our collaboration with NASA and IBM Research, we facilitated a student exchange opportunity with a master thesis project (see thesis).
