International Conference on Environmental Observations, Modeling and Information Systems as tools for urban/regional pollution mitigation

 

ENVIROMIS-2002, July 6-12 2002, Tomsk –Ob’ river-Tomsk.

 

The Conference will be devoted to the state-of-the-art and usage of modern environmental observation techniques, modeling tools and information technologies for air, water, soil and vegetation cover pollution assessment in integrated information systems aimed at environmental management for industrial areas on city and regional scale. It will be organized by the Institute of Atmospheric Optics of Siberian Branch of RAS, Institute for Numerical Mathematics RAS, Institute of Optical Monitoring of Siberian Branch of RAS, Tomsk Region Committee on Ecology, under the auspices of INCO COPERNICUS2 Programme, Tomsk Regional Administration and Scientific Council on Mathematics and Informatics SB RAS.

The Conference is aimed at filling a gap between basic science achievements and their practical applications in this domain as well as at creating a solid foundation for mitigation of pollution in selected areas. It is addressed to critically important for NIS country issues, which are not yet finally solved in Europe as well.

It is assumed that International Agencies promoting environmentally oriented activity in NIS and Europe (Copernicus, INTAS, NATO, ISTC, CRDF and 5th Framework Programme in general) will use this Conference for monitoring current state of their projects falling into this area as well as to give them vision and result diffusion.

The Conference is planned to be held on board of a comfortable boat during its 6-day trip from Tomsk to the North and backward to Tomsk. It is assumed that researchers dealing with local and remote sensors for environmental applications will be provided with the opportunity to deploy their own instrumentation and perform relevant measurements during the trip.
