PORSEC 2020

The 15th Pan Ocean Remote Sensing Conference (PORSEC) 2020 aims to gather all groups of ocean geospatial community within Malaysia and international working on various aspects of ocean and atmosphere using geospatial technology for discussing their results and innovations. The biennial conference is also meant to be an interdisciplinary forum for leading researchers and students in related areas to present the latest developments and applications, to discuss cutting-edge technology, to exchange research ideas and to promote international collaboration in this field.

Exciting social program will be organized for conference participants and it would be a great pleasure to meeting all of you in this upcoming conference.

In conjunction with the PORSEC 2020 conference, the 9th PORSEC Capacity Building Tutorial will be held prior to the PORSEC 2020 conference. The five days tutorial offers expert training for students, and young scientists. Participants will be given theoretical lessons and practical exercises on remote sensing techniques used for monitoring the ocean-atmosphere system for research and operations.

Below are the possible discussion points (but not limited to) to be addressed in the conference:

1. Large and meso scale oceanography
2. Coastal impacts
3. Emerging technologies for ocean and coastal applications
4. Extreme events
5. Operational remote sensing
6. Ocean-Atmosphere interactions
7. Remote sensing data for policy making
8. Education and outreach
9. Coastal disaster management
10. Marine GIS
