The subject of coastal zone management was selected as an applications area that could provide a useful starting point for drawing conclusions about the broader themes related to remote sensing and technology transfer. BRIDGING GAPS The growing availability of diverse remote sensing data opens up new opportunities for the development of remote sensing applications in both the public and private sectors.

TRANSFERRING TECHNOLOGY Successful remote sensing applications are developed through a process of technology and knowledge transfer. Using information in the workshop presentations and the case studies, the steering committee explored technology transfer in the context of moving remote sensing data into effective applications.

However, most of these studies are not publicly available. Moreover, given the suggestions in workshop discussions that several cost issues are not well understood, the steering committee believes that research on the costs and benefits of using remote sensing data for noncommercial applications would benefit decision makers.

Commercial remote sensing companies could also provide additional service to customers (and attract new users) by offering fundamental training courses on using remote sensing data.

Recommendation 4. The Land Grant, Sea Grant, and Agricultural Extension programs should be expanded to include graduate fellowships and associateships to permit students to work at agencies that use remote sensing data.

Geological Survey, the Department of Transportation, the National Science Foundation, and others for support of research on remote sensing applications and remote sensing applications derived from basic research. In addition, these agencies should establish joint research announcements aimed at fostering the development of applications for remote sensing data through basic research.

The work of the OpenGIS Consortium and the Federal Geographic Data Committee serves as an important international and national coordinating mechanism for efforts in standards development that should be continued. These and other entities pursuing common remote sensing data formats and standards should consult with the sensor and software vendors to ensure that data acquired from the use of new technologies for data acquisition, analysis, and storage and distribution are consistent with other data sets.

For example, a presentation by a researcher who had studied the technology transfer process and who summarized a small portion of the history of research in the field was valuable, especially to those with experience primarily in the technical aspects of remote sensing applications. The splinter groups, in turn, provided a forum for the workshop attendees to discuss the issues that arose in the plenary sessions and to make their experience and observations available to the steering committee in an interactive manner.
