International Conference on Remote Sensing and Geoinformation (RESG2026)

About

Rapid development of space-borne, airborne and ground-based remote sensing technologies in recent decades has provided a wealth of earth observations. In the face of rapid global change induced by human activities, such as land use change, resource exploitation, greenhouse gas emission, and so on, increasing active and passive remote sensing observations allow us to address issues related to global change, extreme weather events and sustainable development. However, the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere of the Earth system are interconnected and interact with each other. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop the next generation of quantitative remote sensing methodology for the extraction of multidimensional and multi-scale geoinformation to effectively address these concerns. The theme of this conference is on the next generation of quantitative remote sensing methodology and geoinformation for the sustainability of human society.

This conference will bring together remote sensing, environmental and earth system scientists to share new geoinformation derived using next generation quantitative remote sensing techniques and new ways to utilize this information to assess global changes and to achieve sustainable development goals. It embraces remote sensing of all components of the Earth system including biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. It also encourages data-intensive studies of physical, biological and chemical processes using big data and artificial intelligence techniques, development of Earth system models to utilize remote sensing information to address Earth system science issues, as well as sectoral applications of remote sensing techniques to agriculture, forestry, extreme weather events and grassland management. This conference aims to foster information exchange, data share, and collaboration among participants from various countries and regions, so as to promote concerted efforts in global environmental protection and sustainable development.

Organizer

This conference is organized by:

Special Issue

A joint multi-journal Virtual Special Issue will be associated with the 1st International Conference on Remote Sensing and Geoinformation (RESG2026). Accepted papers may be published in one of the following journals: Remote Sensing of Environment, International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, Science of Remote Sensing, Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment, or Geomatica.

The “virtual” format means that papers will be published online as soon as they are accepted, rather than waiting for a complete issue to be assembled. Only work that has been accepted and presented at the conference, and that includes at least one conference participant as a co-author, will be considered for inclusion in the Virtual Special Issue.

All submissions will undergo the same rigorous peer-review process as regular submissions to the participating journals.

Conference Awards

RESG2026 Young Researchers Award

The Young Researchers Award is established for outstanding young researchers who are junior faculty or professionals, have received PhD or MD in less than 5 years by the submission deadline (24 April 2026) and present at RESG2026.

RESG2026 Best Oral Presentation Award

This award is given to the best oral presentation presented at the conference. The oral presentation will be evaluated based on Presentation Style, Research Quality, and Layout/Design. This is a unique opportunity to combine visual and oral explanations of your projects through an oral presentation.

RESG2026 Best Poster Presentation Award

This award is given to the best poster presented at the conference. It rewards a combination of excellent research, innovation, and presentation. This is a unique opportunity to combine visual and oral explanations of your projects through a poster presentation.
