Panel 1: Challenges and opportunities in remote sensing across different scales

In this panel, we highlighted the growing importance of remote sensing due to increased data availability at various scales. We discussed challenges including data standards, limited access due to privatization, and difficulties in capturing smaller-scale changes. Addressing these challenges and harnessing the opportunities is essential for maximizing remote sensing's potential in assessing various phenomena, from natural hazards to environmental changes. 

Panel 2: Crossing the boundaries across disciplines for hazard and damage assessment 

The panel emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in evaluating the impact of natural disasters like earthquakes, landslides, and wildfires. Damage assessment requires input from experts across multiple fields, such as engineers, geologists, and social scientists. The main goal was to improve our understanding of geohazards by taking a holistic approach, breaking down disciplinary barriers, encouraging collaboration, and facilitating mutual learning among participants to enhance damage assessment procedures. 

Panel 3: Climate-driven stressors and their impact on large ground deformations

The panel discussed climate-induced stressors impacting ground stability, including extreme weather, rising sea levels, and irregular precipitation. Understanding these complex relationships is crucial for risk assessment. The aim was to explore adaptation strategies considering the impact of large deformations on infrastructure and communities. 

Panel 4: Opportunities for emerging science and technology approaches to develop new toolboxes

The panel aimed to discover new opportunities arising from innovative approaches for efficient hazard assessment. It discussed emerging technologies, particularly in remote sensing for geological hazards, and assessed improvements in monitoring systems. Emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration, the panel explored integrating these tools into existing monitoring plans.
