high-latitude environments, past and present. A keynote presentation
will be given by Randy Olson, filmmaker and author of the 2009 book
"Don't be Such a Scientist: Talking Substance in an Age of Style."
Previous Arctic Workshops have included presentations on arctic and
Antarctic climate, archeology, environmental geochemistry,
geomorphology, hydrology, glaciology, soils, ecology, oceanography,
quaternary history, and more.

  1. Call for Abstracts
    2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing
    14-16 June 2010
    Reykjavik, Iceland

Organizers of the 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal
Processing - Evolution in Remote Sensing - (WHISPERS 2010) announce a
call for abstracts. The workshop will be held in Reykjavik, Iceland from
14-16 June 2010.

The aim of WHISPERS 2010 is to gather the different communities dealing
with hyperspectral data, from biomedical applications or microscopic
spectroscopy, to airborne or satellite remote sensing, monitoring of the
environment, defense related issues, planetary exploration, and
astrophysics. All of these communities have to deal with similar issues:
sensor design and calibration, dimension reduction, feature extraction,
unmixing, anomaly detection, data analysis in very high dimensional
spaces, and data compression or visualization. A fruitful
cross-fertilization is expected between the different communities, from
the real-life applications to the most advanced theoretical issues.

Abstracts will be accepted through Monday, 15 February 2010. Additional
information regarding abstract submission is available at:

Abstract Deadline: Monday, 15 February 2010.
