The Hellenic Space Center is organizing three dynamic sessions at the upcoming IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) in Athens, Greece, from July 7-12, 2024.
FR1.R15 & FR2.R15
Wildfire Science, Response, and Technology: Challenges, Opportunities, and Advances🔥
🗓 Date: Friday, July 12 🕘 09:00 – 10:40 (Mercury Hall) 🕙 10:40 – 11:40 (Poster Area: Trianti Balcony) 🕛 11:40 – 13:20 (Mercury Hall)
This session will explore how science and technology can enhance wildfire management and response. Learn about the latest innovations in risk assessment, real-time detection, and predictive modeling. Discover opportunities for collaboration across government, private, and academic sectors to overcome current challenges in fire management.
Chairpersons:
- Ioannis Gitas, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
- Florian Schwandner, NASA Ames Research Center
- Diofantos Hadjimitsis, Technical University of Cyprus
- Shanna McClain, NASA Headquarters

TH3.R13
Remote Sensing of Moons 🌒
🗓 Date: Thursday, July 11 🕘 14:40 – 16:20 (MC 3.3) 🕙 16:20 – 17:20 (Poster Area: Trianti Balcony)
Our session welcomes studies focused on the surfaces and subsurfaces of inner and outer solar system bodies moons based but not limited on analyses of various remote sensing data. This session will bring together experts in planetary science, astronomy, and remote sensing to discuss innovative methodologies, mission findings, and future prospects for studying moons.
Chairpersons:
- Shannon Brown, Jet Propulsion Laboratory
- Anezina Solomonidou, Hellenic Space Center
TH4.R13
Remote Sensing of the Solar System Planets 🪐
🗓 Date: Thursday, July 11 🕘 17:20 – 19:00 (MC 3.3) 🕙 16:20 – 17:20 (Poster Area: Trianti Balcony)
Our session welcomes studies focused on the surfaces and subsurfaces of inner and outer solar system bodies based but not limited on analyses of various remote sensing data. Interdisciplinary and comparative studies of terrestrial volcanic/tectonic systems with a strong remote sensing component are encouraged, as well as studies on terrestrial analogues that help understanding the working mechanisms of outer space bodies and vice versa.
Chairpersons:
- Dimitrios Mylonas, Hellenic Space Center
- Shannon Brown, Jet Propulsion Laboratory
