Web Editor Notes

Welcome to the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Web page! In this site you will find information and resources that will help you in your professional career. In the past weeks we have made an effort to update the materials and increase the number of tutorials and PhD. I invite you to take a look at them and if you want to contribute with new contents (new conferences, remote sensing related tutorials or Ph D, materials for the GRS-S History etc.), if you want to include an ad, or if you find information outdated or have any suggestion, please do not hesitate to contact the web master Prof. Adriano Camps at camps@tsc.upc.edu I want to call your attention on the recent request from Dr. Alber to participate on "Standards and Best Practices for Quality Assurance of Calibration and Validation Processes" of ICEO. Click on the right column link for more information.

Calendar Updates
We are continuing to update the calendar so you can use for your planning. More conferences and workshops will be included that are of interest. If you have something we missed, send it to the webmaster camps@tsc.upc.eduand we will include it. Click here to go to the Calendar of Events

Members Benefits
To get all the member benefits, be sure to log in at the top of this column. If there is a feature you want and can’t find it, send a note to the webmaster at camps@tsc.upc.edu

Member Update: Use Your IEEE Login

The GRSS has integrated its member verification system directly into the IEEE member services system. As a result, we now depend on IEEE to handle the tracking of your membership status, login and member information. To log into the GRSS website, you will use your IEEE account information. For all members who had additional access, please contact the webmaster to have access provided once you have logged in. If you have having trouble logging in, please confirm your login information with IEEE. If you continue to have issues, please contact our webmaster.

Note: if you are using firefox, you will get a security warning. That warning is innacurate and IEEE assures us that the entire process of validation is handled securly.

Join Us!

The Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society seeks to advance science and technology in geoscience, remote sensing and related fields through scientific, technical and educational activities through conferences, meetings, workshops, publications and this web site. We offer you the opportunities to work on internationally recognized technical committees, participate in journal reviews and help our colleagues in professional growth.

Have an IMPACT. Become A GRSS Member and volunteer!

Call For Nominations Form

The GRSS store through cafe press is now live! We have put grss golf shirts, mugs, notebooks, mouse-pads and more available for purchase. Click here to visit the store.

Request to IEEE and GRSS members for input to a survey on Standards and Best Practices for Quality Assurance of Calibration and Validation Processes. For more information click here.

GRSS is excited to announce that the opportunities section is now open to the public! We will be bringing you new grant, job, internship and research opportunities.

GRS-S History: We are looking for materials (texts, pictures, videos ...) to illustrate the history of the GRS Society:
- IGARSS
- GRS-S sponsored or co-sponsored conferences and workshops
- Meetings
- AdCom
- Chapters or individuals
If want to contribute to the archive please contact Adriano, Web Master, indicating whether or not you want them to be posted on the web site.

We are working on a new page to highlight Ph.D. dissertations by our student members. The current plan is to publish dissertations in English and to maintain them online for at least three years. If you are interested in making your dissertation available, please send an e-mail to Adriano, GRS-S Web Master. Include your IEEE membership number, an abstract of less than one page, and an authorization to IEEE GRS-S to publish it on the web site.

President's Message

IEEE GRSS President’s Report -- 2008

The year 2008 brings a number of challenges and new opportunities for GRSS as the Society endeavours to become more relevant and responsive to the needs of its specialized membership. Whether it is instrumentation and sensor design, energy-matter interactions or image processing and applications, the overall objective of the scientific research we undertake is to improve understanding of environmental processes and provide information that will enhance sustainability as well as promote the efficient management of the earth’s natural environment. Remote sensing together with other spatial information technologies such as GPS and GIS can make a unique and valuable contribution to how we map, measure and evaluate the impact of human activities on the physical world.
