Welcome Message
===================
“Beyond the Frontiers :
Expanding our knowledge of the World”
　On behalf of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing
Society and the IGARSS 2011 Organizing Committee, we
are pleased to invite you to Sendai, Japan for IGARSS
2011. Sendai hosts a famous summer festival 〝Tanabata?,
or 〝star festival?, every August. Only once a year Vega
and Altair can meet in the sky, but only if it is not raining.
On the last day of IGARSS 2011, a large fireworks
festival will take place near the conference venue, which
will be the start of Tanabata for 2011. We will celebrate
in hopes of a clear sky for Vega and Altair.
　To enjoy glittering stars in the sky, we must keep the
atmosphere and the earth clean. It is our task to observe
the earth’s environment, and it is the work of geoscience
and remote sensing technology to aid us in this task. We
cannot touch the stars, but we can explore them by remote
sensing technology. We are surrounded by many different
types of frontiers. Remote sensing is a technology that can
expand our knowledge beyond these frontiers. We can
observe the earth’s environment on a global scale, beyond
that which can be seen through our own eyes. Subsurface
sensing that is applied below the surface of the ground
and the ocean, and even beneath the surface of
man-made construction, provides us with knowledge of
the unknown world. Boundaries between countries have
no meaning when the earth’s environment is observed by
remote sensing technology. In addition to the observation,
technologies to store and utilize the information are also
quite important for earth’s environment. We hope IGARSS
2011 will provide you with the opportunity to think about
how we can expand our frontiers. We look forward to
seeing you in Sendai in August 2011.
IGARSS 2011 General Chair
Motoyuki Sato
