Call for Extended Abstracts
(The Call for Extended Abstracts for the 46th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing is now closed.)
The 46th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing / 46e Symposium canadien de télédétection will be held June 16-19, 2025 in Lethbridge, AB. The symposium will be in-person only to optimize interactions between delegates. This symposium, with the theme “From Mountains to Kitchens: Remote Sensing Innovations for Water, Food & Security”, will include Invited Sessions, General Sessions, Student Competition Sessions, Keynote Presentations, Workshops, and Discussion Panels.
Submissions of extended abstracts (up to 1000 words (2 pages)) are invited in all areas of remote sensing and related fields, including but not limited to those listed below under the categories of General Applications, Sensors/Technologies, and Models/Methods.
Abstracts must be submitted using the symposium template, which is provided at https://crss-sct.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Extended_Abstract_Template_CSRS_2025.docx . Please make sure to carefully read and follow the instructions provided in the template as there have been a few changes compared to the one for the previous symposium.
Abstract submissions must indicate the preferred topics and the preferred form of presentation (oral or interactive poster presentation). ALL submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee with decisions made by the Technical Program Committee.
To be included in the final programme, authors of an accepted abstract will be required to provide a final revised version of the extended abstract properly formatted and at least one author must be registered by the deadline.
Authors of accepted extended abstracts may optionally wish to submit full papers to:
- The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences (ISPRS Archives). Camera-ready papers must be submitted by the due date. They must meet the requirements as given in the guidelines. These submissions will NOT be peer reviewed.
- The Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing (CJRS) Special Issue on the 46th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing. Submitted manuscripts will be subject to the peer review process of CJRS.
Based on the extent of their research, authors with accepted extended abstracts may choose to pursue full paper publication using either one or both options above. In the case that both options are pursued, the two full papers must differ significantly to meet publication standards and requirements for uniqueness of the publications.
Further details on full paper submission will be provided on the symposium website www.csrs2025.ca , when they are available.
