You are cordially invited to attend the first workshop of the Special Interest Group on Education and Training of the European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories, to be held at the Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Turkey, on 6 June 2008. The workshop aims to make the results obtained at the more than 250 EARSeL member institutes available to the public. Remote sensing of the earth covers many topics that are significant for all natural science disciplines in school and university curricula. Satellite imagery and data derived from satellite sensors are available from studies of local or regional phenomena. This covers larger scales, as it is typical for remote sensing using satellites, but also the region around schools, and allows thus to point out the dependence between local and global scales. Remote sensing data are used to explain actual conditions on earth. But they also allow to outline the methods for predicting future developments – e.g. of the climate system – with models.
