Introduction
The session provides a broad overview of remote sensing applications in river environments. Papers cover the range of remote sensing data types and techniques, ranging from optical sensors to lidar, radar and sonar. Papers address methodological advances in remote sensing of river environments (which include the active channel and floodplain), new applications of remote sensing in river systems, or ways in which remote sensing can enhance our conceptual and theoretical understanding of rivers. The intent is to be inclusive in identifying the range of people, organizations and research directions related to remote sensing of rivers.

Evening Festivities: 15 April, 8:00pm, Augustinerkeller, 1010 Vienna  Augustinerstraße 1

You Are Invited

All are invited to an evening of festivities, enjoyment, and pleasant conversation with the remote sensing of rivers session attendees and other guests. Bitzinger’s Augustinerkeller is one of the last monastery cellars of Vienna’s Old Town. You can still marvel at the old vaults of what originally was a defensive fortification, converted into a restaurant as late as in 1924. Since 1954, the Bitzinger family has been cultivating the tradition of Vienna style gastronomy in this extremely popular Heurigen restaurant. For further information:
