Panel discussion: “Damage mitigation for the Svalbard scientific community”
Moderated by Veijo Pohjola, Co-Chair, RSWG
Panel: Heikki Lihavainen (atmospheric measurements), Jack Kohler (glaciology), Agnar Sivertsen (remote sensing), Roberto Salzano (terrestrial remote sensing), Ann Mari Fjæraa (cal/val)
The panel discussion will focus on what kind of data and field activities are being affected due to current situation. The remote sensing community will respond on how they can help in this situation.
- What are possible effects of the current situation on Svalbard research in general?
- How would EO/RS based studies get affected?
- How to control the damage because of cancelled field campaigns and data loss by using remote sensing observations?
- Can we fill all the data gaps in observations using remote sensing?
- What can be done to fill the gap of missing ground truthing this year?
