Technical Committees and Chairpersons

Data Archival & Distribution - The DAD committee mission is to provide recommendations and responses to issues related to the archiving and distribution of remotely sensed geospatial and geotemporal data, and on how new media, transmission means, and networks will impact the archiving, distribution, and format of remotely sensed data. Also, to study the impact of media, channel, and network scaling on the archiving and distribution of data. Click here for details	R. Ramapriyan and Gilbert Rochon
Frequency Allocations in Remote Sensing - The FARS committee mission is to provide technical assessments, guidance and recommendations regarding matters of frequency sharing and interference between remote sensing and other uses of the radiowave spectrum. Click here for details	Shannon Brown
Instrumentation and Future Technologies - The IFT Technical Committee’s vision is "to foster international cooperation in advancing the state-of-the-art in geoscience remote sensing instrumentation and technologies that improve knowledge for the betterment of society and the global environment". The Committee’s mission is to facilitate, engage and coordinate GRSS members and the communities-at-large to: assess the current state-of-the-art in remote sensing instruments and technology, identify new instrument concepts and relevant technology trends, and recognize enabling technologies for future instruments. The committee actively promotes and provides insight to institutions and industry on remote sensing instrument and technology development. Click here for details	Martin Suess and Eastwood Im
Data Fusion - The DFC committee serves as a global, multidisciplinary, network for geospatial data fusion, connecting people and resources. It aims at educating students and professionals, and at promoting best practice in data fusion applications. The DFC Wiki	J. Chanussot and Jenny Q. Du
User Applications in Remote Sensing - The purpose of the UARS TC is to support the development of remote sensing applications within the broad communities of users in earth and atmospheric sciences and planetary science. The constituent communities will include scientific, societal, government and administrative users.	E. LeDrew and L. Wu
International Spaceborne Imaging Spectroscopy - The ISIS TC provides a forum for technical and programmatic discussion and consultation among national space agencies, research institutions and other spaceborne IS data providers. Goals of the ISIS are to share information on current and future spaceborne imaging spectroscopy (“hyperspectral”) missions, and to seek opportunities for new international partnerships to the benefit of the global user community.
