Our Society strives to promote our field and support and speak for our members. It continues to thrive because members deploy their precious time, energy and skills in its service. I would like to thank Dr Kay Smith (Chairman), Martin Syme-Rumsby (ViceChairman), Dr Philippa Mason (Honorary General Secretary), Dr Tina Thomson (Honorary Treasurer), nine Council members and five Special Interest Group Convenors for their committed leadership during what one could euphemistically call a ‘difficult year’. I am especially grateful for the administrative support of Rachel Hopkins and Uta Feinstein, the editorial skills of Dr James O’Connor, Dr Christopher Lavers and Adam Keith, who are our new SENSED team and the generosity of our sixteen corporate members.

The RSPSoc year started with our first one-day, virtual, Annual Conference. It was structured around thirty sessions, two panels and five fascinating keynote presentations. I was particularly pleased to see that Wavelength had been incorporated into the schedule. Driving forces behind the Conference and the source of enthusiasm and

conference stalwart, he was also a frequent observer at RSPSoc Council meetings and stepped down as International Journal of Remote Sensing Co-Editorin-Chief only a few months ago. Professor Costas Varotsos’s widely-circulated and moving obituary captures Arthur’s many achievements. To this obituary was added a short tribute on behalf of the Society: “Arthur made a huge and sustained contribution to the field of remote sensing. While some of this was due to his phenomenal intellect, a large part was due to his inimitable personality. His vision and personal drive, combined with his quiet, caring and self-deprecating modesty, made him an exceptionally appealing person to work with. Such attributes enabled him to assemble great teams and make things happen, apparently effortlessly. Arthur’s legacy will be large as he has done so much for the Society, the International Journal of Remote Sensing and academia. We all owe him a great debt of gratitude”.

energy throughout the day were Emma Wiggins and Martin Syme-Rumsby. By the end of an engaging day over 400 people had attended and it was clear that the Conference had been a resounding success. This year’s Annual Conference is, again, virtual but will run for a week rather than a day and be held in partnership with the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) and Centre for EO Instrumentation (CEIO). Given that The UK is hosting COP26 in Glasgow only two months later the theme of ‘Supporting climate and environmental sustainability through Earth Observation’ is most appropriate. I look forward to seeing you there.

2021 has been a year of good news in relation to UK involvement in space, from full participation in the Copernicus Programme to UK Space Agency funding for wide range of remote sensing projects. These will be reported more fully in the pages of SENSED.

However, this year marked the passing of one of our Society’s most passionate supporters, Professor Arthur Cracknell. A

It remains, as ever, an honour and privilege to be the President of our Society.

Message from the Chair Kay Smith

society, following on from a year-long stint as ViceChair. This was a great honour after having been associated with RSPSoc in many guises from my PhD student days, 20 years ago now. During the transitional time from Vice-Chair to Chair I was very fortunate to have great support from the Executive Committee led by Richard Armitage and I would like to extend very warm thanks to the Executive Committee and particularly to Richard for extending his tenure as Chair for an additional year, to enable discussions to take place about his succession and to pass on his wisdom.

The reporting period covered by this Annual Review (April 2020 to March 2021) has encompassed what has been a testing time for many of us as our lives and working practices had to change in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. This time last year, I don’t think any of us would have imagined the prolonged changes we have all had to make such as (not exclusively) balancing working from home with home-schooling in makeshift offices on dining room tables, or with pets dancing over the keyboard as you try to ensure a most important document reaches its destination as WiFi patches in and out, or remembering to turn the microphone on during online meetings, on top of trying to figure out what we can and can’t do as directed from our respective governments. I think we have all done amazingly during the upheaval. With the start of a vaccination programme throughout the globe there are elements of normality returning to some, but we must remember that not everyone will be going through the same thing as us and let people adjust as they need. We will get through this. The RSPSoc office have been steadfast throughout in what has been a very difficult time both operationally and personally, and the Society will be ever grateful of their continued support in underpinning the Society in everything that we are trying to achieve.

There have been many discussions being undertaken by the Executive Committee during this period and the Chair wishes to thank their efforts and inputs throughout the challenging environment that has been 2020/2021. Many of these discussions are outlined below.

The Executive Committee was delighted to receive an application for the Vice-Chair role from Martin Smye-Rumsby, who many of you knew from his organisation of the Annual Conference. The Executive Committee offered Martin the appointment of Vice-Chair and we were delighted that he accepted the offer and took up the role in November 2020. His enthusiasm and energy with a business slant has been very welcomed to help shape the RSPSoc for now and future years. It has been a pleasure working alongside him this year and looking forward to the next few years.

The changes in working practices were reflected in the Annual Conference in September 2020 with the first fully virtual one-day conference, organised by Martin Smye-Rumsby. In light of the virtual element, the conference was free for members and non-members to attend and built on much of the outward facing digital presence with global participation. The day seamlessly blended scientific presentations with keynotes and award presentation and talks, with the AGM held as a separate virtual meeting during the lunch break. I think this was a great example of how a one-day virtual event can be convened and I would like to see RSPSoc build on these and work under an appropriate finance model for members and non-members.

The Annual Meeting of our Student and Young Professional members, Wavelength, was held in March 2021 as another fully virtual event, hosted by Mortimer Werther (University of Stirling) co-hosted by Cristina Vrinceau (University of Nottingham). The two-day event was packed with scientific presentations and was very well organised and the digital platform was simple and yet very effective in delivery of the meeting. I very much appreciated having the chance to participate in the meeting where I could talk a little bit about RSPSoc to the attendees. RSPSoc and myself have conveyed our sincerest thanks and congratulations to Mortimer and Cristina on their event and wish them both well

in the future.

The Special Interest Groups have also faced challenges this year and I would like to express our gratitude for their continued support to RSPSoc. Council was delighted that Nuria Bachiller-Jareno stepped up to take on the SIG convenor role and she has been working closely to reinvigorate the SIGs. The primary port of call for the SIG information is through the website and there is an ongoing effort to streamline the full RSPSoc website to make it more visually appealing and informative with modernisation to build on the digital presence, particularly a mind of converting some of our large online followers to potential members whilst offering our members a more dedicated platform.

This has been yet another busy year for the Publications Committee chaired by Kevin White, and I wish to thank him for his incredible efforts and support this year. The committee is responsible for liaising with our publishing partners Wiley, and Taylor & Francis and there have been very detailed conversations in the latter part of the reporting period as Taylor & Francis will cease their IJRS/RSL royalties to RSPSoc by the end of December 2021, which is not a small amount. Their APC discount to RSPSoc members will still be in place and Kevin White is leading a Task Force to assess how we can build a stronger relationship with both our Publishers in order to boost opportunities for our members.

The future of our Society is highly dependent upon long term financial stability, and we are indebted to Tina Thomson, Sam Pike, Uta Feinstein (RSPSoc Office) and Rachel Hopkins (RSPSoc Office) for overseeing our finances, which is often complex and time-consuming. The Finance Committee have worked closely to adhere to the VAT rulings

and submissions with HMRC, alongside finding a replacement for Robert Killington who has provided RSPSoc with financial advice for several years. I wish to thank the Finance Committee for all their hard work this year and wish to express my thanks to Robert and wish him a well-earned retirement.

RSPSoc Executive Committee and Council have begun to really think very carefully about our members and in order to try to better understand our membership, a questionnaire was sent to members. RSPSoc have now begun to finally collect some meaningful information about the expertise and depth of knowledge of its members, which is crucial in a time when the remote sensing and photogrammetry world is reaching far more people than ever before and RSPSoc are being approached for participation in wider consultations. At time of going to press we had received 121 responses from the membership, which is a good start and I thank all of those for filling in the information. The detail will allow RSPSoc Executive Committee and Council to think very carefully about how best we can enhance the opportunities for our members.

RSPSoc as a society can only survive with the efforts of volunteers, and so I would like to express my sincerest thanks to all the Society’s Council Members and Trustees for their contributions during this reporting period. I am particularly indebted to the Executive Committee, Philippa Mason (Hon. General Secretary, Tina Thomson (Hon. Treasurer), Samuel Pike (Deputy Hon. Treasurer) and Martin Smye-Rumsby for all their hard work over the last 12 months. I would like to sincerely thank Rachel Hopkins and Uta Feinstein at the RSPSoc Office, for all their work in underpinning the Society and keeping the Society running smoothly.

In another Covid-19 affected year, Council held all its meetings online during this reporting period: in June 2020, November 2020 and March 2021, and the Executive Committee met online in July 2020. In addition, Wavelength (March 2021), and the Annual Conference and AGM (September 2020) were held online.

At the AGM, Dr Richard Armitage completed his term as Chair of the Society. Richard first joined Council in 2011 and has served on Council continuously since then, first as a co-opted member, then as an elected Trustee, then as Vice Chair and finally as Chair for three years. We all congratulate and thank him for what has been a lengthy and hugely influential time in service to the Society. Also at the AGM, Emma Higgins completed her term as Wavelength Representative, Dr Fleur Visser completed her first term on Council and Dr Beth Cole and Emily Winter stepped down from their positions on Council. Subsequently, the Society’s

were pleased to announce, in November 2020, that Council had elected Martin Smye-Rumsby to the position of Vice Chair.

Once again, the Society’s staff and Trustees have worked tirelessly to keep things running and adjust to all the changes, finding new ways of working together and of working comfortably at home. We are all grateful to Rachel Hopkins and Uta Feinstien for their largely unseen work running the Society’s Office, organising the Council and its Executive members, and generally keeping things on an even keel.

Formally elected to Council at this AGM were Dr Alessandro Novellino (British Geological Survey) and Dr Nuria BachillerJareno (UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology); Dr Fleur Visser was elected to her second term of office. Wavelength Representative for this year was Mortimer Werther (University of Stirling) and the incoming Shadow Representative is Cristina Vrînceanu (University of Nottingham). Council also coopted Dr Meredith Williams, who is no stranger to Council having previously served the Society as a Council member; Meredith will be the Convenor of the 2021 Annual Conference.

At the end of this reporting period, Council elected as its Ex-Officio Officers Kay Smith (Chairperson), Philippa Mason (Honorary General Secretary), Tina Thomson (Honorary Treasurer) and Martin Smye-Rumsby (Vice Chair).

On behalf of the Society and its members, I take this opportunity to collectively thank all Council members (all those in post, as well as those stepping down and up) and the wonderful office staff.

For some time, Council had been considering nominations for the post of Vice Chair, and we

Report of the Honorary Treasurer Tina Thomson

The state of the charity's affairs is considered to be satisfactory. The accounts this year show a consistent financial performance of the charity.

Excluding investments, the total trading income for the year was £88,112 compared to £98,004 the previous year. £96,640 was spent on raising those funds, as well as administrative expenses (2020: £104,857). All told, this represents a loss in trading activities of £8,528, where last year the loss was £6,853. This reflects the continuing issue of membership growth, and the importance of the Annual Conference as part of a diversified income stream. When investment income is taken into account, this reduces the loss for the year to £3,948 (2020: excess £660).

Total funds as shown in the and the awards dinner at the East Balance Sheet at 31 March Midlands Conference Centre. 2021 are now £570,976 (2020: The Society continues to face £545,873)). Of this, cash at bank challenges around sustaining its is £434,934 and the Investments membership and the evolving are £171,236 which altogether publishing landscape, which continues to demonstrate a very impact upon the Society’s main strong and stable balance sheet sources of income. which RSPSoc can continue to The Directors and Trustees build and consolidate upon.

The Directors and Trustees have considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which started in January 2021 on RSPSoc from both a financial and economic perspective. The Directors and Trustees do not believe that COVID-19 will have any material or adverse impact upon the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The market value of investments show an increase of £29,051. Last year the decrease was £4,649. This reflects the volubility of the stock markets during the covid period and the impact external market forces can have upon the valuation of investments stated in the accounts. Of note this year, there was a net loss of £6,448 from conferences. This represents the contractual fees on the cancellation of the conference

Education and Training Committee Fleur Visser

The Education and Training (E&T) Committee aims to increase awareness and understanding of remote sensing (RS), Earth Observation (EO) and Photogrammetry.

The following activities were undertaken during the last year:

1) In partnership with the RGS the E&T developed a teacher CPD session which took place online on the 27th of January 2021. The session was attended by 20+ teachers and other interested people. We are looking at doing similar sessions in the future, for example also for Geographical Association and possibly a video version of the CPD which can be made available via the RSPSoc website.

2) Fleur and Amy Woodget made a ‘Guess my job’ video about Amy’s job of Natural England RS Lead. The video is offered at the STEM ambassadors website. Several schools have showed interest, but mostly from primary level, while the video is more suitable for secondary level. Fleur is considering offering a video resource more suitable for primary level.

3) The E&T Facebook page and Twitter account are steadily growing: https://www.facebook.com/ EOforSchools (93 likes/94 followers) and https:// twitter.com/EOforSchools (14 followers).

TeachRS in which we report on E&T activities and comment on RS E&T topics more generally.

The Committee has several ideas to extend their activities over the coming year, including the following two focus activities:

Develop the RSPSoc E&T website area, specifically focussing on resources for Early Career Members. More videos like the one produced by Philippa Mason, which will be linked into a text document with (links to) other useful resources and including a summary of useful points made by the speakers.

Further EO for schools activities to promote and support uptake of Earth Observation in teaching E.g. single lesson activity pack with links to byte-size videos (the latter developed in collaboration with Nigel Edmeade), which can be sent out to schools/ geography teachers.

The Committee are looking forward to further developing their activities in the coming year, as there has never been a better time to engage a wider audience with Remote Sensing, Earth Observation and Photogrammetry. If any members wish to find out more about past or planned activities, or if they wish to contribute in any way, please get in contact with Fleur ([e-mail]). We’d love to hear from you!

We also started an E&T column in Sensed called

External Affairs Committee Kay Smith

The purpose of the External Affairs Committee is to strengthen existing links and to build new link with relevant groups, societies or organisations with a similar focus on remote sensing or photogrammetry. RSPSoc is represented on: UK Space Agency (UKSA) Earth Observation Advisory Committee (EOAC); UKGeoForum; International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISRPS) UK sub-committee; and EARSeL Council and are always willing to discuss potential collaborations and linkages with any organisation with a similar focus.

Since taking on the Chair role of the External affairs in September 2020, I was able to participate in a couple of meetings of the UKSA EOAC. UKSA continues to support EO and the meetings of the EOAC, in conjunction with many other representatives from across UK-based EO specialist organisation. In the first meeting, we discussed the UK contributions to the European Space Agency PB-EO meeting. That was a very interesting meeting and there is a lot going on within the UK that I was not aware of until that meeting. The second meeting we discussed a wide range of issues on EO with a UK perspective.

The UKGeoForum (ukgeoforum.org) is a group of organisations that represent core specialist skills of geography, mapping and geospatial technology that are key to many applications in the modern world. Early in 2021, the group met to restart

discussions, having been on hiatus for around a year. The meeting allowed each organisation to discuss key issues of relevance to their organisation and discuss some potential linkages and crossorganisation interests particularly leading up to COP26. The hope is to have further online meetings to enable a wide range of participation in future.

During the reporting period, there have been no EARSeL meetings (earsel.org) for which RSPSoc has participated. The main reason for this is the due the pause in EARSeL activities due to Covid and consideration was therefore given to the need to plan for and change their 40th EARSeL Symposium to a virtual only event, now to be held on 7-10 June 2021.

The UK Sub-committee for ISPRS continues to represent the UK Earth Observation community (including RSPSoc, RICS and CICES) on the international stage. However, no meetings have been held during this reporting period. The External Affairs committee will aim to remedy this early in the new reporting period. ISPRS were forced to move their 2020 Congress in Nice to a virtual event held in September 2020 as a result of Covid, and are well underway in their planning for their next Congress in 2021 which will again be delivered as a digital event before a physical meeting in 2022.

Publicity and Communications Committee Martin Smye-Rumsby

Overview. The Publicity and Communications Committee (PCC) has, on balance, emerged from a challenging year ready to build upon firm foundations. More than ever, digital media has become the focus for the Society’s efforts with strong social media growth underpinned by the quarterly SENSED digital magazine. Council approved a refreshed PCC action plan in November 2020 which is the basis for a post-pandemic recovery in the coming year. Based around 5 channels, PCC activity will focus on: SENSED; social media; website; membership; and corporate.

SENSED. A core offering which is perhaps more accessible to a wider audience than the Society’s journals, there have been 4 issues of SENSED published during the reporting period. The PCC would like to recognise the particular contribution of Rachel Hopkins for her diligent efforts to ensure timely publication. A rich variety of articles has included pieces ranging from, “Evaluation of the Standardized Precipitation Index as an early predictor of seasonal vegetation production anomalies in the Sahel” to “Seals from Space: the monitoring of ice seals and sea ice habitats by very high-resolution satellite imagery”. SENSED articles can be found on the Society’s website.

Social media. Many of our members continue to regularly use social media to source information about their interests and so the PCC has focussed on LinkedIn as a primary platform during the reporting period. Regular posts about an engaging variety of topics have seen the Society secure over 10,000 followers at reporting period end, growing at a rate

of approximately 500 followers per month. This followership sets the conditions for the Society to increase impact in its charitable mission to inform and educate.

Website. This is our authoritative source of information about the Society and contains a wealth of content for reference. The PCC reviewed the arrangements for maintaining the website and submitted proposals for Council to consider how best to ensure the website navigation and feel continues to evolve in keeping with contemporary conventions.

Membership. Current and future members are at the heart of the Society’s charitable mission and so a clear and compelling offer is critical to our viability. In order to ensure that any assumptions about our membership’s needs and wants are tested, the PCC advocated for a survey to understand how the membership offer might be developed. This survey is underway and is still available online to complete.

Corporate. RSPSoc2020 demonstrated that the Society would benefit from a focussed engagement with industry to ensure that, where appropriate, the interests of industry can be aligned with the Society’s charitable mission. This channel focuses on managing relationships with industry to provide support to the Society’s outreach activities. A key part of this channel is ensuring a clear set of benefits to our corporate supporters. Once the needs and wants of our membership have been revalidated the PCC will undertake concerted industry outreach.

Publications Committee Kevin White

Taylor and Francis, to take effect from the beginning of 2022. Both journals have been impacted by the very sad loss of Professor Arthur Cracknell this year. Arthur’s role in creating and establishing the Society’s affiliated journals with Taylor and Francis has been pivotal, and they continued to benefit from his editorial experience and insight right up to the end of his life. A remarkable man, an outstanding academic and a towering figure in the history of RSPSoc.

The Publications Committee is responsible for ‘developing and coordinating the Society’s publications’. It is chaired by Kevin White. Also on the Publications Committee are Kevin Tansey (Editorin-Chief, International Journal of Remote Sensing), Costas Varotsos (Editor-in-Chief, Remote Sensing Letters), Stuart Granshaw (outgoing Editor-in-Chief, The Photogrammetric Record), Rachel Hopkins (in attendance), Danilo Schneider (IEB Coordinator, The Photogrammetric Record) and Tina Thomson (RSPSoc Honorary Treasurer). The committee liaises with our publishing partners – Wiley (The Photogrammetric Record) and Taylor and Francis (International Journal of Remote Sensing, Remote Sensing Letters).

The Photogrammetric Record, published by Wiley, has maintained its profile as an international journal in the very competitive field of photogrammetry, the impact factor increased from 1.591 in 2018 to 1.867 in 2019. The journal is a key asset to the Society, maintaining a distinct focus on contributions in Photogrammetry, alongside a reputation for highquality papers. At the 2020 RSPSoc AGM, the Editor of the Record, Stuart Granshaw, indicated that he would be standing down from 2021, and the Society is working with Wiley to reappoint this important role, to take the journal forward in the rapidly changing world of academic publishing. We are all greatly indebted to Stuart for his very hard work in building the reputation of The Photogrammetric Record, and Council extend their sincere thanks to him.

Submissions to the International Journal of Remote Sensing have maintained their recent increases. Number of articles published has remained high (463 in 2019, 440 in 2020) while increasing its impact factor (2.976 in 2019, up from 2.493 in 2018). The new Editor-in-Chief is doing a good job of steering the journal through a period of unprecedented change in academic publishing. Remote Sensing Letters, also with a new Editor-in-Chief, has maintained rapid turnaround times and increased its impact factor from 2.024 in 2018 to 2.298 in 2019.

Our academic journals remain a key part of the Society’s activities, helping us to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and expertise in remote sensing and photogrammetry. The move towards open access continues to push academic publishing in a new direction, often with unforeseen consequences. The Publications Committee will continue to monitor the impacts of this changing publishing landscape on members’ interests, to ensure our publications play their important part in our mission to inform and educate both members and the public.

Conference Committee Meredith Williams

The Conference Committee (CC) aims to ensure vibrant and engaging events are available for the Society’s members. The RSPSoc calendar on the Society website continues to provide information on forthcoming events in remote sensing and photogrammetry, as well as deadlines for abstract submissions and registrations.

Covid-19 restrictions have had a significant impact on our conference provision in 2020/21, with neither the Annual Conference nor the Wavelength meeting able to run as face-to-face events. However, thanks to huge efforts on the part of the organising teams both were successfully redesigned as online virtual events. RSPSoc would like to extend our thanks to the convenors; Martin Smye-Rumsby and his team for the RSPSoc2020 Annual Conference, and Mortimer Werther and Cristina Vrinceanu for Wavelength 2021.

RSPSoc2020 ‘Measure the World’ went ahead as a one-day free event on September 3rd 2020. Overall, the Conference was a great success, attracting a wide international audience. It covered a broad range of topics, including early career researcher sessions carried over from the Wavelength 2020 Conference that had to be cancelled at short notice due to Covid-19 restrictions, plus panel sessions on EO skills gap and the EO state of affairs. The full RSPSoc2020 schedule and presentations are

available on the Society’s website, a fantastic resource.

The 2021 RSPSoc Annual Conference will be part of a National Earth Observation Week, run jointly with the NERC National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) and the Centre for Earth Observation Instrumentation (CEOI), titled ‘Supporting Climate and Environmental Sustainability through Earth Observation’. This was originally planned as a hybrid conference with both face-to-face and online content. However, due to the considerable financial risk of planning a hybrid conference in these Covid-19 impacted times the 2021 event will now be virtual-only, running from 6-10 September. This virtual event will bring together world leading scientists in Earth Observation to discuss climate and environmental science and innovation. It will be a low-cost event, with a £60 registration fee providing access to the sessions of all three organisations. Plenary events will include keynote speakers and special sessions on climate and COP26, health and the pandemic and disaster management, including sessions for early and mid-career scientists. For updates on the event visit eoweek2021.uk.

We welcome your ideas for facilitating discussion about the many and varied matters of the moment in our respective disciplines – please send them to [e-mail].

Wavelength Representative’s Report Mortimer Werther

Wavelength is RSPSoc’s conference for students and young professionals, designed to foster the growth and development of the next generation of remote sensing and photogrammetry researchers, specialists, and entrepreneurs.

This year’s Wavelength event (17th and 18th of March 2021) was the 9th edition and hosted by the University of Stirling (Scotland). Because of the coronavirus pandemic the event was fully virtual for the first time in the history of Wavelength.

Despite the challenges, hosting the event online had several benefits. For example, students from around the globe were able to participate. Our low fees (free participation and £15 for a presentation) enabled a global community of researchers to join. We had presentations from other European states, South Africa, India, Bangladesh, Israel, the U.S. and Canada, which unlikely would have been the case for an offline event. The online event also led to a record-high of over 200 registrations and we peaked with 70 individual participants during the first day of the event. We had 26 student presentations, 4

Keynotes and 2 training sessions making it two densely packed but vivid days of community interaction.

Overall, we are very happy about the event and did not experience any major technical failures. In the home office time of the pandemic, Wavelength enabled to interact with plenty of people of the remote sensing and photogrammetry community, that would have otherwise not been possible due to the necessary health and travel restrictions. The community-driven networking was uplifting for many attendees and a positive experience to remember during the dark and wintery times of early 2021.

The next Wavelength event in 2022 will be organised by Cristina Vrinceanu at the University of Nottingham. We are already looking forward to it and I encourage everyone to message Cristina in case you would like to contribute, participate or support in Wavelength 2022!

Special Interest Groups Nuria Bachiller-Jareño

conference in September 2021, for which they are planning a session; they have secured a couple of speakers now for it. The pandemic seems to have led to increased workload for many people and has delayed fieldwork for many of them. However, remote sensing based work is still on going for most of the group members. Louise changed jobs last year so that slowed a few things down for her briefly.

SIGs – Overview

2020-21 has been an atypical year, dominated by covid-19 pandemic and its effects in our working and personal lives. Acting as hubs for members with shared interest on a specialist or application area, the SIGs provide opportunities for knowledge exchange, networking and collaboration. However, despite the effects of lockdown and social distancing in face-to-face events and activities, the SIGs have transitioned to a remote model and remained active.

Geological Remote Sensing Group (GRSG) SIG

Before leaving you with the SIGs report below, I would like to thank the SIGs conveners and their members for their effort and enthusiasm during this challenging year. I would also like to invite the Society’s members to join the SIGs this September for the UK National Earth Observation week to find out about what they do and learn about their area of expertise.

The Geological Remote Sensing Group held its first ever online conference in December 2020 following on the impact of the ongoing pandemic making it impossible to meet in person. Despite the virtual nature the conference received some excellent feedback as a good balance between short lightening talks, lunchtime keynotes and a careers session whilst also finding a novel way to still hold an online social event through an online pub quiz. This was a perfect way to wrap up what had been a challenging year but what had also helped them, as a group, focus on different ways for their members to interact and engage with each other and attracted many new faces to the GRSG.

SIGs – Conveners

Archaeology - Chris Brooke (University of Nottingham) and Louise Rayne (Newcastle University)

Conservation & Indigenous Communities (ConICom) – Chris Lavers (University of Plymouth)

Emergency, Disaster and Risk Management (ED&RM) – Richard Teeuw (University of Portsmouth)

Leading up to this, and despite the postponement and cancellation of other activities, the GRSG held 3x Python courses and 3x Google Earth Engine training courses which had been requested by their 2019 AGM attendees. The Google Earth Engine course sold out each time it was run. They awarded 3x £1000 student awards despite the pandemic and continued improving their social media presence through dedicated and targeted PR and marketing. The main challenge faced by the GRSG was limited income in 2020 because of the pandemic as most of their funds are generated through sponsorship to the AGM, which when held online had lower cost and lower sponsorship options to compensate; they anticipate this will be a similar challenge in 2021 as well.

Archaeology SIG

Over the past year, the lead team (Louise Rayne and Chris Brooke) has met a few times over Teams- usually Louise and Chris but also a couple of meetings with Danny Donoghue as well. They have been trying to get out a newsletter but submissions that had been promised are taking a while. However, they are hoping that they could get it out for the RSPSoc

15

That being said, GRSG sustained its membership for the most part and the GRSG has already planned a number of activities for 2021, most of which are focused on online events, including 2x co-badge events with other groups; another series of online Python and Google Earth Engine Training; the GRSG Oil and Gas Workshop in August; hosting a session at the RSPSoc 2021 in September and then culminating in a hybrid event in person in December in London for their 32nd Conference and AGM.

the benefit to the membership whilst engaging with the community as best as possible to ensure, as things improve, that they continue to build on a strong foundation towards their next year and beyond.

The GRSG remains fully committed to their students and early careers as key areas of growth for the group and took the decision to still present 3x student awards (of £500 each) in 2021. GRSG continues to find ways during this time to optimise
