GRSS Chapters

About Chapters

Chapters represent GRSS at the regional level and provide an easy way for GRSS members to become involved in geoscience and remote sensing activities locally.  Besides, they offer support and networking for GRSS’ members who are distributed across the globe. 

GRSS has three types of geographic units:

  • Chapters
  • Student Branches/Branches
  • Ambassadors

There are currently 70 Chapters, 30 Student Branches and 12 Ambassadors.
