The Applied-GIS-RS mailing list informs us with the following: "ASPRS [American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing], in cooperation with NOAA and the U.S. Geological Survey, is continuing to update and expand the Ten-Year Remote Sensing Industry Forecast. The focus of Phase V of the Forecast is to refine and revalidate earlier findings and to obtain more specific information concerning sources and applications for a wide variety of users but with special emphasis on those working with international sources or on non-US applications. We would sincerely appreciate it if you would help us to help the profession by taking approximately 15 minutes of your time to complete the Phase V survey at http://www.asprs.org/phaseVsurvey. All survey data is confidential in that you are not required to identify yourself or your organization at any point during the survey.
Additional information about the ASPRS Forecast, including the report of phase IV, is available at http://www.asprs.org/news/forecast/.
Questions or comments regarding this survey should be addressed to Charles Mondello, Project Team Chair, at forecastATATasprsDOTDOTorg." See also results from previous survey below.

Application Domains: ASPRS's Survey on Land-Imaging
[+]
Via the Applied-GIS-RS mailing list, the ASPRS seeks worldwide survey respondents on the subject of medium-resolution land imaging. From the announcement: "The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) has enlisted the support of ASPRS to play a major role in helping to determine the future of the U.S. moderate resolution land imaging program. In an effort to assist OSTP in documenting the value and nature of societal benefits derived from moderate resolution land imaging, ASPRS has developed a survey so that the global professional community can provide useful input into the deliberative process. This survey asks for information about past applications of Landsat and other moderate resolution sources, as well as solicits opinions on future systems and policies."
ASPRS Survey Preliminary Results
[+]
The preliminary report to the Future Land Imaging Working Group on The American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Survey on the Future of Land Imaging is now available (via the Applied-GIS-RS mailing list). From the presentation: "Goals of the survey: - To estimate the societal benefits of US
moderate resolution data. - To better understand current operational
and research uses of moderate resolution
data. - To identify user requirements in moderate
resolution technology and data policy" There is a clear focus on the Landsat satellite in the survey.
First Provisional Certifications Awarded by ASPRS
[+]
From GISuser.com, ASPRS awards the first two provisional certifications for Mapping Scientist-GIS/LIS: The Provisional Certification Program was put in place by ASPRS in late 2006 and made available to graduating students in the spatial sciences who meet the educational and program requirements. The first of its kind, this program provides students with the opportunity to take the ASPRS certification exam as they are finishing their studies. ASPRS is working with universities that offer spatial technology education to implement this innovative program.
