Remote Sensing Forum

Year Began: 2021

PNAMP members voiced a need for open discussion and sharing of learned experiences and methodologies as they relate to the rapidly evolving field of remote sensing. The PNAMP Remote Sensing Forum aims to supports individuals and entities (e.g., federal, state, tribal, nonprofit, etc.) with equitable opportunities to learn and advance the use of remote sensing technologies and data for the research, monitoring, and management of aquatic ecosystems.

Goals

  • Provide equitable opportunities for professional development or advancement of programmatic needs as it relates to remote sensing in the fields of fisheries and water resources in the Pacific Northwest.
  • Collaborate on the creation of regionally specific standardized methods for collecting and analyzing remotely sensed data.
  • Reduce the barrier to entry/adoption of implementing remote sensing practices by providing technical expertise and feedback in an online forum setting.

Who should participate in the Remote Sensing Forum?

Participation in the Remote Sensing Forum is open to everyone. We strive for a diverse mix of minds, backgrounds and experience, and we are committed to cultivating an inclusive environment.
