Upcoming Earth science missions such as NASA's Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) study will provide observations of unprecedented combined spectral, spatial, radiometric, and temporal resolution. By analyzing contemporaneous observations from visible to short-wave infrared (VSWIR) hyperspectral and multispectral thermal infrared (TIR) data, researchers can help address complex and unique scientific and application questions.

In this session, scientists from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) explore how fusing high spatial-resolution VSWIR and TIR data captured by space-based platforms and airborne campaigns strengthens Earth science research. This session also provides a forum for discussing development of algorithms that use VSWIR and TIR data for Earth science and applications as well as synergistic use of VSWIR- and TIR-derived data products.

We invite you to submit an abstract for our session "Synergistic Applications of VSWIR Hyperspectral and Thermal Infrared Data in Support of Future Earth Science Satellite Missions" as part of the 2025 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS).

The deadline for abstract submissions is January 10, 2025.
