The theme of IGARSS'99, Remote Sensing of the System Earth - A Challenge for the 21st Century, reflects the expectation that earth observation based on satellite remote sensing can significantly contribute to the future study of our environment and the changes it is undergoing, whether from natural causes or human activities. The wide range of topics suggested for presentation is not only an indication of the interdisciplinary nature of this complex task, it also implies an essential need for integrated approaches in remote sensing in order to meet the challenge of modeling and understanding a system as complex as our environment.
