Title:	Training Workshop: Remote Sensing / Landscape Characterization Workshop
Date:	November 1 - 3, 2005
Location:	Region 5 Office in Chicago, IL
Contact:	David Macarus Region 5 Science Liaison 312-353-5814 macarus.david@epa.gov Stephen Gorenson Region 5 Office of Information Services 312-886-3445 goranson.stephen@epa.gov Thomas L. Baugh Region 4 ORD Science Liaison 404-562-8275 Baugh.ThomasL@epa.gov
Purpose:	To bring technology available to Regional staff for remote sensing, and how adding remote sensing to ground based data enhances landscape characterization that guides Regional enforcement, pollution prevention and long term sustainability efforts. Desired outcomes include understanding of, 1) the various remote sensing technologies that are applicable to environmental work, 2) how the remote sensing technologies integrate with land based data to assist Regions, States, Tribes, and Local Communities in landscape characterization for environmental purposes, 3) how to access the remote sensing technologies, both inside and outside of EPA , and 4) the relationship to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems.
