Introduction of the IEEE Saudi Arabia Section
Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society Chapter
INTRODUCTION
he goal of the Chapter is to promote the area of remote
sensing in Saudi Arabia and to bring together researchers and professionals interested in remote sensing in both,
the academic and industrial fields. The start was with the
formation of a research team in remote sensing at the Advanced Lab for Intelligent Systems Research (ALISR) at King
Saud University. There the idea of setting a local chapter
was proposed. We were further encouraged by knowing
that there is no other such chapter in Saudi Arabia, and that
we will be the first and only of our kind.
So in 2011, we searched for other researchers and professionals who are interested in remote sensing and we were
able to meet the minimum requirements set by IEEE, and the
formal petition to establish a chapter was submitted. On September 2011, we received the letter from the managing director of member and geographic activities of IEEE, informing
us that the requirements of the MGA Board Operations Manual were met, and the IEEE Saudi Arabia Section Geoscience
and Remote Sensing Society Chapter was formed.
T
of members that signed on is 13 members. This group
elected Dr. Yakoub Bazi, senior IEEE member, and longtime active member of the GRSS society, as the chapter
chair. The other elected members of the executive committee, were, Dr. Naid Alajlan, Vice chair, IEEE senior
member, KSU, Dr. Haikel Hichri, secretary, (IEEE member, KSU), Engr. Sultan Turkistani, Treasurer, (IEEE student member, KSU), Dr. Nassim Ammour, member,
(IEEE member, KSU), Dr. Mouldi Bedda, member, (IEEE
member, Al-Jouf University).

activities, the Saudi GRSS chapter carried out several
