Technical Committees Activities @ the Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS)
The Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society has established a number of Technical Committees to actively promote discussion and advances in areas of member technical interests. Activities of the Technical Committee (TC) include networking within the scientific topic, organization of thematic workshops, education of young professionals, and organization of special sessions at IGARSS along with hosting committee meetings open to all IGARSS participants. In this webinar a description of the main objectives of each TC and their activities is given.
