The widespread availability of contemporary  Earth Observation (EO) imagery being facilitated by Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) not only explodes the volume of data available to the Earth science analyst, but also brings orders of magnitude improvements in the image resolution, thus increasing the information content available to the user. In addition, data supporting the interpretation of EO imagery (e.g.,  heterogeneous data, like multimedia, scientific and engineering measurements) is also continuously being generated and stored.

Meanwhile GEOSS and Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programs are broadening the application range of EO data and creating new challenges in the area of data analysis and interpretation  methodologies.

 The Summer School aims at introducing the participants  to advanced information analysis methods for the latest generation of EO sensors, and also to present and demonstrate novel tools and methods for Knowledge based EO data understanding.

The lectures are addressed both to the scientific and application oriented communities involved in  interdisciplinary areas as: geo-sciences, environment monitoring, computer science, agriculture, surveillance, electrical engineering, risk and hazard monitoring, etc.

The lectures will be followed by practical exercises and dedicated discussions.
