Agro-geoinformation, the agricultural-related geo-information, is the key information in the agricultural decision making and policy formulation process. The Agro-Geoinformatics, a branch of geoinformatics, is the science and technology about for handling digital agro-geoinformation, such as collecting (including field visits and remote sensing), processing, storing, archiving, preservation, retrieving, transmitting, accessing, visualization, analyzing, synthesizing, presenting, and disseminating agro-geoinformation. Recent advances in geoinformatics have created new opportunities and challenges in applying agro-geoinformatics to agriculture monitoring and assessment. The International Conference on Agro-Geoinformatics is an ideal venue for professionals and students to exchange ideas, research results, professional experiences, to obtain the information about the latest developments and future vision in the fields of geoinformation science, remote sensing, and their applications in agriculture. The First International Conference on Agro-Geoinformatics (Agro-Geoinformatics 2012), to be hosted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and George Mason University (GMU), will be held in Shanghai, China on August 2-4, 2012. The conference will include plenary, oral, and poster sessions. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to:
Agricultural ecosystem monitoring, assessment, conservation, and service sustainability Geospatial information for stratification and sampling Crop acreage estimation, growth and yield modeling, and progress and condition monitoring Cropland evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and drought monitoring and assessment Agro-biomass estimation, energy crop inventory and distribution Water resource planning and management, Irrigation and water usage Remote-sensing based agricultural disaster monitoring, assessment, and mitigation Agricultural subside and crop insurance compliance inspection Agricultural product tracking and food security Crop, forest, and grass land inventory and land-cover/land-use change Wildfire and burnt area mapping Remote sensing monitoring and modeling on Agricultural greenhouse gases Weather information representation, analysis and application for agriculture Data assimilation, validation, and ground truths Agricultural environment and public health Invasive spices monitoring, tracking and assessment Crop/plant disease detection, monitoring and assessment Crop residual, Tillage practice monitoring and assessment Chemical and pesticides monitoring and tracking Soil run-off and water pollution GIS in government agricultural policy make and decision support Geoinformation and GIS for agricultural emergency response Integration of RS, GIS and GPS (3S) New trends of technologies and research in GIS community Geospatial sensor web and its application in agriculture and resource management Cloud computing in geospatial applications Geospatial web services and portal Virtual globes and their application to agricultural production and scientific research Wireless and mobile GIS for agricultural field work Interoperability and standards in agricultural information systems Automated object extraction and database updates from imagery Processing and application of high-resolution imagery Agricultural decision support systems Representation and visualization of geospatial data Spatial data uncertainty analysis Acquisition, processing, and information extraction of remotely sensed data Global climate and environment change and its impacts on agriculture and food security Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) Agro-geoinformatics education and outreach Agro-geospatial data policy Interested authors are encouraged to submit a 2-4 page extended abstract following the instructions published at: http://www.agro-geoinformatics2012.org.
