Land system science: understanding realities and developing solutions” We have the pleasure to invite you for the Global Land Project third Open Science Meeting (GLP 3rd OSM 2016), to be held from 24-27th October 2016 at China National Convention Center. GLP had its first OSM from 17-19 October 2010 at Arizona State University, Tempe, USA, and its second OSM from March 19-21 2014 at Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany.

The Global Land Project (GLP) is seeking applications for the position of Executive Officer of its International Project Office (IPO), which will be hosted by the Centre for Development and Environment (CDE) of the University of Bern, Switzerland (beginning in 2016). GLP is a core project of the Future Earth initiative (www.futureearth.org). It constitutes the largest research network in land system science, a field of research dealing with the causes, consequences, and integrated simulation of land systems.

To respond to global challenges in Earth, environmental, and planetary science, The University of Arizona announces coordinated hiring of ve faculty in Earth system remote sensing to establish the Earth Dynamics Observatory (EDO). EDO will combine mission operations and planetary science capabilities of the Lunar and Planetary Lab with remote sensing research in Earth and environmental programs and instrument development. EDO faculty will contribute to interdisciplinary research and education with the goals of instrument/mission development and leading new applications research.

This is the second announcement for the next NASA Direct Readout Conference (NDRC), more commonly known as the International EOS/S-NPP Direct Readout Conference, to take place March 8th - 11th 2016 in Rabat, Morocco.

This is a great opportunity to work for USGS as an USGS Mendenhall Post Doctoral Fellow. The Mendenhall Post Doctoral Fellowship is very prestigious and competitive (work closely with your research advisor to have a successful proposal).

A common obstacle faced by the public in assessing conservation impacts around them is the difficulty in accessing high quality, peer-reviewed satellite-derived information or maps developed by researchers. To help alleviate this issue, the WWF presents GLOBIL (globil.panda.org) – WWF’s Global Observation and Biodiversity Information Portal, their institutional ArcGIS online account, which will post geo-spatial data for the public and internal use free of cost. They will provide a web service of your data with:
