Dear Colleagues,
Remote sensing technology plays a vital role in the initial stages of ore mineral exploration. Increasing demands for minerals by society due to the exponential growth in population and industrialization emphasize the need for replenishing depleting reserves by locating new prospective ore deposits. In recent decades, hydrothermal alteration mineral detection has become one of the most conspicuous applications of multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing satellite data for ore mineral exploration. Numerous ore deposits such as orogenic gold, porphyry copper, massive sulfide, epithermal gold, podiform chromite, uranium, magnetite and iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits have been successfully prospected and discovered using remote sensing satellite imagery in the metallogenic provinces and frontier areas around the world. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), Landsat data series, the Advanced Land Imager (ALI), Worldview-3, Hyperion, HyMap and the Airborne Visible/IR Image Spectrometer (AVIRIS) multispectral and hyperspectral data support cost-effective techniques for ore mineral exploration around the world. Advanced image processing algorithms based on state-of-the-art data extraction techniques can be implemented for detecting key alteration minerals associated with a variety of ore deposits. Analytical spectral device (ASD) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis in conjunction with remote sensing data can provide comprehensive information about the alteration zones and mineral assemblages associated with ore mineralizations. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data contain a high potential for structural analysis and mapping in metallogenic provinces. On the other hand, human-induced change in the form of mine excavation, mine tailing, mine waste and acid runoff requires particular monitoring by remote sensing satellite data. Environmental pollution mapping and monitoring of mined areas are the main challenges that need to be addressed for future sustainability and environmental management in metallogenic provinces.

KUALA LUMPUR, 24 Oct. – Geoscience and Digital Earth Centre (INSTeG), Research Institute for Sustainability and Environment (RISE), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in collaboration with International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Student Consortium (ISPRS SC) organized the ISPRS SC Summer School in conjunction with the 39th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS 2018) in Kuala Lumpur. The summer school was held at Menara Razak of UTM Kuala Lumpur campus from October 20th to 24th, 2018 with the theme of “Big GeoSensing Data Ecosystem: Theory, Processing & Application”. The Asian Association on Remote Sensing (AARS) General Secretary, Prof. Kohei Cho was attended to officiate and warmly greet the participants from the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Taiwan, Uganda, Pakistan, Libya and Malaysia. They are students and lecturers from universities and officers from agencies and industries.

This international event aims to provide an opportunity for students and young researchers to get into lectures from various eminent experts within the field of remote sensing, photogrammetry and geospatial information sciences. Participants are expected to gain knowledge from a series of lecture, practical sessions and excursion at a minimum cost. Besides that, it is an international platform of collaboration among students, young researchers, experts and the industry to provide a bigger perspective of the profession as well as to establish relationships within the scientific community and the industry.
