On behalf of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society and the IGARSS 2012 Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite you to Munich, Germany for IGARSS 2012. This will be the 32nd annual IGARSS symposium and will continue the excellent tradition of gathering world-class scientists, engineers and educators engaged in the fields of geoscience and remote sensing. We believe that the additional scientific themes of this event, focusing on the characterization of dynamic Earth processes, assimilation, integrated Earth observing systems and current as well as upcoming satellite missions, will allow the formation of a most interesting technical program.

IGARSS is recognized today as a premier event in remote sensing and provides an ideal forum for obtaining up-to-date information about the latest developments, exchanging ideas, identifying future trends in your research area and making contacts with the international remote sensing community. With intensive and careful planning underway we anticipate a technically outstanding and most pleasant symposium.

We look forward to seeing you in Munich in July 2012.

Alberto Moreira and Yves-Louis Desnos
