Dear Ecologgers, I am organizing a session in the XIII Brazilian Meeting of Limnology in September, focused on challenges and opportunities for establishing operational remote sensing programs to monitor inland waters in Brazil. "Monitoring" is broadly defined (water quality, water availability, flooding, etc.), but the keyword is "operational"; there is plenty of academic research on the subject in Brazil, but not much gets implemented operationally in continuing, long term programs.
As part of my presentation, I would like to show examples of operational programs around the world, as well as contact the people involved to know about their experiences in implementing and managing such programs. In this regard, I would really appreciate suggestions of programs of this nature and/or people involved with the subject that you migh be aware. Thank you, Thiago -- Dr. Thiago Sanna Freire Silva Postdoctoral Fellow Remote Sensing Division - National Institute for Space Research (INPE) São José dos Campos, SP - Brazil www.dsr.inpe.br Personal Webpage: www.thiagosilva.wordpress.com
