The UTM-Antarctic research group is currently heading to Antarctica by a research cruise vessel. They transited to Buenos Aires, Argentina before heading to Ushuaia, Argentina. From Ushuaia, they departed to Antarctica. It takes three days to travel from Ushuaia to King George Island, Antarctica. We are hoping that the researchers will have a safe and healthy journey and lots of interesting research results from their mission.

The 35th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS 2014) was held in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar from 27th – 31st October 2014. This conference bring together researchers, policy makers, and practitioners from developed and developing countries to share insights into the challenges and opportunities of remote sensing technology and application in solving the world problems. It will showcase cutting-edge research from around the world, focusing on themes of equity and risk, learning, capacity building, methodology, and possibly investment approaches in remote sensing. It will explore practical adaptation policies and approaches, and share strategies for decision making from the international to the local scale.
A delegation from INSTeG consisted of five staff members and three students has participated in this conference, where they presented their work in various technical sessions at the conference. In addition, INSTeG had participated as exhibitor for the first time in this conference for promoting Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in international conference in order to attract international students or researchers to join UTM. It was a great success as we got good response from many participants from different countries.
