From July 14 – 17 (Sunday – Wednesday), members of GRSS and students from around Europe and North America, convened at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), and the Hungarian Institute for Soil Sciences (TAKI) to participate in a 4-day summer school to engage about the remote sensing of soil moisture. In all, 12 instructors, 6 assistants from TAKI, 2 speakers from the Hungary Fulbright office, and one representative from the US Embassy provided the basic instructional and overview material for the course. The course materials, in the form of lectures, hands-on field experience and computer lab application, were delivered to 36 students that were selected from 10 countries (3 of which were Fulbright scholars from the US), and a wide diversity of backgrounds and education levels (MS to post-doc to early career professionals). Funding for the workshop was provided by IEEE GRSS and the Fulbright commission, with funds principally going towards student support (meals and lodging), with some additional provided for instructor housing. In what follows is a more detailed summary of the workshop, with provided links for instructional materials (presentations) and photographs of participants in the workshop. A basic, outward-facing website that describes the school, its mission, and other topics can be found at the ISMS website.
