Tenth International Symposium on High Mountain Remote Sensing Cartography
The Tenth International Symposium on High Mountain Remote Sensing Cartography (HMRSC X) will be held in Kathmandu, Nepal from 8-11 September 2008.
The HMRSC X will cover diverse topics including remote sensing techniques, environmental studies, morphological mapping, monitoring of environmental and global change biodiversity, geology and mining, glacier and glacial lake investigations, ecotourism, mountain cartography, amongst others. These fields are direct applications of remote sensing techniques.
Himalaya From Space
Himalaya is a region of extremes - within a short distance it rises from sea level to the highest points on earth, and changes from rain forests to glaciers and deserts. Follow the links below to the sections dealing with aspects of the whole region, with important cities and Himalayan landscapes and with its climate and weather, respectively. Case studies allow the geographical aspects of cities and landscapes to be analysed, but also give an understanding of the climatic features of this region.
eduspace
The Web-site aims to give to the youth of Europe a portal to space applications and in particular to a wide-spread visibility of Earth Observation as co-ordinated by the European Space Agency (ESA) and its European and National Partners. The Web-site is being developed under the umbrella of EURISY and offers to teachers and students of secondary school in Europe means to bring Earth Observation into the classroom.

ESA Earth Observation News
Observation images show the world through a wide-enough frame so that complete large-scale phenomena can be observed to an accuracy and entirety it would take an army of ground-level observers to match.
ESA Education News
The ESA Education Office coordinates all the education activities proposed by the various ESA Directorates and the Education Department itself. Our aim is to help young Europeans, aged from 6 to 28, to gain and maintain an interest in science and technology by organising or informing them about various activities designed for their specific age group.
On this website you can find information on all ESA activities for young people as well as some activities proposed by ESA's external partners.
