4. Multi-angular and Multi-temporal measurements
5. Data scaling, fusion, reduction and assimilation
6. Machine learning in remote sensing
7. Advances in consolidated datasets of Essential Climate Variables and their impact from the Climate Change Initiative
8. Carbon and Water cycle observation and modelling
9. Global change and sustainable development
10. Evapotranspiration inversion techniques
11. Land cover and land use mapping, change detection, and integration in weather and climate models
12. From R&D to Operational Agricultural Monitoring
