Synopsis

This book comprises the contributions of the African Association of Remote Sensing of the Environment (AARSE) international conference which is conducted biennially across Africa, alternately with the AfricaGIS conference. It is the premier forum in Africa for research on remote sensing technologies and geospatial information science, gathering leading scholars from the remote sensing and related communities. The 13th AARSE International Conference was held on October 24-28, 2022 in Kigali, Rwanda, to focus on Earth observations and geospatial science to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The five-day event themed “Space and Geospatial Technologies for the Africa We Want” was organized by the African Association of Remote Sensing of the Environment (AARSE) and the Institut d’Enseignement Supérieur de Ruhengeri (Ines-Ruhengeri) in partnership with Rwanda Space Agency and Space in Africa. Furthermore, the conference was sponsored by GMES and Africa, the Regional Centre For Mapping Of Resources For Development (RCMRD), Airbus, European Space Agency (ESA), Digital Earth Africa, and INES-Ruhengeri and Rwanda Space Agency. The 13th Conference continues a long series of successful AARSE conferences which started in 1996, in Harare (Zimbabwe), and has been held in Abidjan (Cote D'Ivoire) in 1998, Cape Town (South Africa) in 2000, Abuja (Nigeria) in 2002, Nairobi (Kenya) in 2004, Cairo (Egypt) in 2006, Accra (Ghana) in 2008, Addis Abeba (Ethiopia) in 2010, El Jadida (Morocco) in 2012, Johannesburg (South Africa) in 2014, Kampala (Ouganda) in 2016, and in Alexandria (Egypt) in 2018.
