Join the ASPRS Student Advisory Council (SAC) at George Mason
University in northern Virginia for the 1st Annual ASPRS Student
Advisory Council Summer Conference, June 10th through June 16th, 2012!

This summer conference for students will consist of lectures by
professionals of industry and academia on geospatial theory, data
fusion, conflation, and integration, geospatial technology, and
geospatial analysis. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to meet
and network with other students in the field and professionals in the
industry.

The fields of remote sensing and geographic information systems are
very specialized in scope. Multi-source geospatial data fusion merges
the hard and soft sciences which are applied in remote sensing, GIS,
photogrammetry, and geospatial intelligence. Geospatial intelligence
includes specialties from atmospheric and physical sciences,
competitive business strategy, cartography, imagery analysis, and
geodetic sciences, to name a few. The fusion of geospatial
intelligence has become an integral piece to emergency management and
first response, as well as supporting United States policy-makers and
law enforcement.

Each prospective attendee must apply and be accepted in order to
attend this special conference. The deadline to apply is April 16,
2012. Please go to http://www.asprs.org/Conferences/SAC-2012/ to
