Abstract
About this time, I expected to be returning from the IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) that was to be held in Brussels, Belgium, with many stories about the trip and thinking about discussions I had with colleagues. However, once again, we found ourselves attending the conference online and, in many cases, recording presentations that originally were intended to be given live. The continued threat of COVID-19 forced this necessity, which, however, did enable many us to avoid the heavy rains and flooding that swept through portions of Belgium, The Netherlands, and western Germany and resulted in severe damage and lost lives. While it was not a substitute for an in-person event, having a virtual meeting ensured that our presence did not exacerbate the emergency. I would like to take a moment to congratulate Ramon Hansson, Joost Vandenabeele, Michal Shimoni, and the entire IGARSS 2021 local organizing committee for their hard work and excellent results. The key notes, morning special events, and lively discussions made for a great experience and opportunity to network.
