Mission Statement
Promote the development and application of laser sensing techniques and laser instrument architectures used to study the atmospheres and oceans of the Earth and other planets. It promotes advanced technologies in laser remote sensing and the deployment of laser remote sensors on surface-, airborne-, and space-based platforms.
Key Activities
ICLAS promotes the study of Earth and planetary atmospheres, including atmospheric chemistry and physics, meteorology, pollution, and the interactions with the biosphere, oceans, and solid earth in multi-disciplinary climate and environmental studies. This study includes the interrelated physical, chemical and biological processes and their relationship to climate and to other geophysical and geographical issues.

ICLAS oversees the organization and planning of the International Laser Radar Conferences (ILRCs); a gathering of the laser remote sensing community usually convened every 2 years.
Membership/Participation
Working group members have a term of six (6) years. Nominations for vacancies in the working group membership come from current working group members. The working group members then elect new members from a list nominees at the lead-up to the next ILRC meeting. New members start their term at the upcoming ILRC meeting
