The AARSE2014 conference is again set to be a major

event in the African and international community of Earth

observation and geo-spatial science, focussing on Space
Technologies for Societal benets in Africa, bringing
together world-class scientists, academics, engineers and
educators.
This years themes focus on the characterization of dynamic
Earth processes, assimilation, current and upcoming satellite
missions and integrated Earth observation systems, deemed to
culminate in a most interesting technical program.
The conference will make a substantial contribution towards
reinforcing Africas earth observation capabilities in the
framework of AfriGEOSS.
The conference programme will feature keynote speeches
delivered by leading scholars, technical sessions reporting on
the latest research, training sessions and forums for discussion
of Earth Observation techniques. A Summer School for new
PhD students will also be available.
You are hereby invited to submit abstracts for oral
presentations or poster papers to the scientic committee of
AARSE2014.
