Recent technological developments have revolutionised the ability to measure natural topographic surfaces and to detect topographic change. This has served to broaden the appeal of techniques like photogrammetry to a wider community, and has also introduced new techniques such as LIDAR and SAR interferometry as a means of quantifying topography and topographic change. With this in mind, the Photogrammetric Society is organising a one day symposium at the University of Leeds, on the 17th January 2001, which will focus upon recent developments in methods for the generation of high quality topographic data for hydrological and geomorphological applications. We are particularly interested in papers in the following areas:
The symposium organisers are particularly keen to attract participants who might not normally attend Photogrammetric Society meetings, as well as academics and consultants in public and private industry.
Abstracts of 300 words for either papers or posters should include a title, authors and affiliations, should indicate a preference for paper or poster presentation, and should be submitted electronically to either of the symposium organisers by 31st August 2000. Authors of accepted papers and posters will be encouraged to bring drafts of their papers to the meeting for publication in the Photogrammetric Society's journal, the Photogrammetric Record or the BGRG's journal, Earth Surface Processes and Landforms.
