SUMMARY:Masterclass II: Platforms for global monitoring - Emerging capabilities and challenges (Space-Earth Interactions)
DESCRIPTION:Masterclasses remain a central part of UT Austin Portugal’s 2020 Annual Conference agenda. These thematic and highly-specialized sessions feature renowned experts in their fields. \n  \nDescription of Masterclass II \nAs we enter the third decade of the 21st century\, the prospect of miniaturized space platforms and high-precision Earth remote sensing are beginning to unleash their full potential for global Earth observing. Emerging technologies create new opportunities\, but also pose new challenges. \nIn this masterclass\, world-renowned experts will illuminate the underlying Space-Earth interactions from three different vantage points. Prof. Byron Tapley will elucidate the emerging capabilities of miniature satellites and their roles in sustained Earth observations. Taking advantage of high-precision geodesy\, Prof. Kristine Larson will demonstrate complementary Earth observing capabilities\, through unanticipated uses of the Global Positioning Systems as a remote sensing technique to monitor the Earth’s surface. Vastly expanded satellite traffic and underlying space debris are creating an increasingly serious space traffic challenge. Prof. Moriba Jah will discuss transdisciplinary solutions tying academia and industry together to address this challenge and to develop the Earth’s orbit sustainably. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration is now closed. \n  \nSpeakers\n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\nMoriba Jah\, Associate Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics\, The University of Texas at Austin\, USA\nByron Tapley\, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics\, The University of Texas at Austin\, USA\nKristine Larson\, Professor Emerita\, Aerospace Engineering Sciences\, University of Colorado Boulder\, USA\n\n  \nScientific Coordination\n\nLuísa Bastos\, Principal Investigator at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto\, Portugal\nPatrick Heimbach\, Associate Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin\, USA\nPedro Camanho\, Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto\,Portugal\n\n  \nProgram\nOctober 8\, 2020\n2 p.m. (Lisbon time) | 8 a.m. (Austin time)\nWelcome Message by Patrick Heimbach\, Program’s Area Director of Space-Earth Interactions at UT Austin \n2.10 p.m. | 8.10 a.m.\n“The space traffic challenge and trans-disciplinary solutions tying academia and industry together” by Moribah Jah + Moderated Q&A \n2.50 p.m. | 8.50 a.m.\n“Defining the roles of miniature satellite in observing the Earth” by Byron Tapley + Moderated Q&A \n3.50 p.m. | 9.50 a.m.\nShort break \n4.05 p.m. | 10.05 a.m.\n“GPS reflectometry to study the Earth” by Kristine Larson + Moderated Q&A \n5.05 p.m. | 11.05 a.m.\nWrap-up by Luísa Bastos\, Program’s Area Director of Space-Earth Interactions in Portugal \n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nAcademia and Industry interested in Space and Earth Observation studies. \n\nRequirements \nParticipants must secure Wi-Fi connection. \n  \nVisit the pages below for detailed information on other Masterclasses: \nMasterclass I: Innovation in Biomimetic Materials (Nanotechnologies) \nMasterclass III: Emerging HPC Technologies (Advanced Computing)\nMasterclass IV: The Challenges of Proton Therapy in Cancer Treatment – Research and Clinical Perspectives (Medical Physics)  \n  \nFor additional information\, please contact events@utaustinportugal.org.
