The workshop will be held in Beijing from July 9 to July 10, 2016, just two days before IGARSS 2016. We are delighted to welcome you to attend this workshop specifically organized for quantitative remote sensing science community focusing on Heterogeneous Land Surface.

As you know, modeling of radiative transfer and scattering mechanism and estimations of land surface parameters using remote sensing models have led to numerous achievements that have been successfully applied in many applications. However, the mechanisms associated with radiative transfer and scattering for heterogeneous land surfaces, as well as the scale extension mechanisms of remote sensing information, are still not well-understood. Over the years, the problems mentioned above have seriously hindered the application of quantitative remote sensing. In the context of dynamic analyses and modeling based on remote sensing information in relation to heterogeneous land surfaces, new challenges have arisen regarding basic theory and quantitative remote sensing methodology.
