On behalf of the IGARSS 2014 Local Organizing Committee it gives me great pleasure to invite you to the International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS 2014), to be held in beautiful and historic Québec City from July 13th – July 18th, 2014. The symposium is being held in conjunction with the 35th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing. IGARSS 2014 & 35th CSRS is a partnership of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) and the Canadian Remote Sensing Society (CRSS), and builds on a fine tradition of collaboration between GRSS and CRSS over many years. We are looking forward to welcoming members of the geoscience and remote sensing community and to presentations of their most recent findings.
