Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) 10-19 October, 2002 Houston, Texas "Natural and Manmade Hazards Management" Organizer R. P. Singh For more detail see http://www.copernicus.org/COSPAR/COSPAR.html More than two decades, multi sensors data over the globe covering spatial and spectral resolutions are available. These data are being used to deduce numerous parameters of land, vegetation, forest, ocean, snow and atmosphere. These parameters are being used as an indicator to have information about the state of land, ocean and atmosphere. Contributed papers dealing with multisensor data and GIS techniques in monitoring, mapping, quantification, early warning and management of various Natural and Manmade Hazards such as: Cyclones / Hurricanes Volcano / Volcanic ash Earthquakes Droughts Forest fires Soil Erosion Snow avalanches Mass movements Oil Spills Landslides Subsidence Lightning El-Nino are invited.
