Maintain and improve the Commission's digital repository on topics related to: a. analysis of existing and forthcoming satellite imagery in view of their potential inputs for producing and updating topographic and thematic maps and databases; b. cartographic capabilities of different remote sensing systems.
  2. Produce a special edition of selected papers of the ICC theme ‘Cartography and satellite imagery for the management of natural resources and the environment, early warning and natural disasters mitigation’ presented or to be presented at ICC2007 or ICC 2009 in a scholarly journal of remote sensing, or a book on Mapping from Satellite Imagery.
  3. Develop closer links with international organisations concerned with the use of satellite imagery (e.g. UNOOSA, UNEP, PAIGH), in view of strengthening ICA’s presence, and to produce joint courses or seminars on cartographic applications of satellite imagery.
  4. Promote knowledge transfer at fundamental and advanced levels on the use of satellite imagery for cartographic applications related to natural and built environments, early warning and natural disaster mitigation.
  5. Prepare promotional materials reflecting the Commission’s terms of reference and activities that can be used to support ICA presence at international forums (e.g. World Map, Map Middle East, meetings of Joint Societies, UN meetings, other regional conferences).
