I T IS a pleasure to introduce this special issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING (TGARS); dedicated to the 8th European Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar (EUSAR); which was held in Aachen; Germany; in June 2010. EUSAR is the international conference devoted to the technology and techniques of synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The conference is organized biennially and was first established in 1996 by the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques (FHR) [formerly Research Establishment of Applied Science (FGAN)] in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR). It is organized by the German Association for Electrical; Electronic; and Information Technologies/Information Technology Society (VDE/ITG); FHR; DLR; Cassidian; and European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company Astrium and is technically sponsored by the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society and IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society. Since its inception; worldwide interest in EU-SAR has steadily increased; as it provides a forum for exchanging information and discussion on a wide variety of research topics representing the latest SAR developments. While the first EUSAR featured two parallel sessions; the past conference was partitioned into four parallel sessions. During EUSAR 2010; we had 40 sessions in three days of conference; as well as a tutorial day prior to the EUSAR.Joachim H. G. Ender (M’02–SM’06) received the Diploma degree in mathematics and physics from the University of Münster; Münster; in 1975 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Ruhr-University Bochum; Bochum; In; 1976; he joined the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques (FHR) [formerly Research Establishment of Applied Science (FGAN); Wachtberg; Since; 1992; he has given annual lectures on radar signal processing at the Ruhr-University Bochum; which conferred the title Honorary Professor upon him in 2002. He also gives lectures on radar techniques at the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen; Aachen; and the University of Siegen; Siegen; 1999; he became the Head of the Electronics Department; where he initiated and supervised research activities for various aspects of phased array and imaging radars; including the design and operation of experimental synthetic aperture radar systems; such as Airborne Experimental Radar and Phased Array Multifunctional Imaging Radar. Since 2003; he has been the Director of FHR. He has authored and coauthored numerous papers in various international journals and conferences. Dr. Ender is a member of Informationstechnische Gesellschaft/Association of German Electrical Engineers Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik e.V. and German Institute of Navigation (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ortung und Navigation e.V. - DGON). He is an Executive Board member of DGON as well as Member-at-Large of the Sensor & Technology research panel from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He further acts as a Review Board member of the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Leibniz Society. Jointly with colleagues; he received the ITG Paper Prize Award of VDE in 1992 and the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING Best Paper Award in 2006. In 1996; he was one of the founding members of the biennial European Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar;
