Agricultural Research Service (ARS), U.S. Department of
Agriculture, in 1986. He is currently a research hydrologist
with the ARS at the Southeast Watershed Research Laboratory in Tifton, Georgia, U.S.A. Dr. Bosch leads a watershed
research program investigating the impacts of land use on
water balance and quality. His primary research interests
include watershed and landscape scale hydrology; agricultural impacts on water quality; hydrologic and solute
transport modeling of watershed processes; riparian buffer hydrology and solute transport; and developing new
methods for assessing the impact of agricultural chemicals on ground and surface water supplies.
Mark Seyfried received a PhD degree in soil physics
from the University of Florida in 1986. After post doctoral
research at the University of Delaware, he started work at
the USDA- Agricultural Research Service, in Boise Idaho in
1988. Since then much of his research has focused on using
the plot-scale knowledge of soil and physics and plant physiology to the understanding of large watersheds. Although he
has worked extensively in Florida, Delaware, New Mexico
and Costa Rica, most of his work has been on the Reynolds
Creek Experimental Watershed in Idaho. This has led to the
publication of over 50 peer reviewed manuscripts on topics
of spatial variability and scaling, remote sensing, fire effects
on ecohydrology and streamflow generation processes. In
addition, he has worked extensively on soil water measurement technology. Current research is on linking soil water
and rangeland plant productivity at different scales, application of fiber optic cables for soil temperature monitoring
and linkage of remote sensing to plant productivity. He is
a long time member of both the American Geophysical
Union and the American Society of Agronomy.
David C. Goodrich received the Ph.D. degree in
hydrology and water resources from The University of Arizona, Tucson, in 1990. He has been a Research Hydraulic
Engineer with the Southwest Watershed Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Tucson, AZ, since 1988. His current research
efforts are directed to scaling issues in watershed rainfall-
runoff response, identification of dominant hydrologic
processes over a range of basin scales, climatic change
impacts on semiarid hydrologic response, incorporation
of remotely sensed data into hydrologic models, the functioning of semiarid riparian systems, and nonmarket valuation of ecosystem services. He co-led the interdisciplinary multiagency Semi-Arid Land-Surface-Atmosphere
Research Program and is an Associate Adjunct Professor
with the Department of Hydrology and Water Resources,
The University of Arizona. He was an Executive Member of the National Science Foundation Sustainability of
semi-Arid Hydrology and Riparian Areas (SAHRA) Science and Technology Center and has worked closely over
the long-term with elected officials and decision makers.
He is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union and
in 2007 he received the Arid Lands Hydraulic Engineering Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers
48

for original contributions in hydraulics and hydrology in
arid or semi-arid climates.
Mary Susan Moran (SM'04) is a Research Hydrologist
with the U.S. Department of Agricultural at the Southwest Watershed Research Center in Tucson, Arizona, and
an Adjunct Professor with the University of Arizona in the
Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science.
She studies of the impact of climate variability on natural
resources using satellite remote sensing and simulation
modeling. Dr. Moran serves NASA on the Soil Moisture
Active Passive (SMAP) Science Team and the NASA Applied
Science Advisory Committee (ASAC).
Jinyang Du (M'10) received the Ph.D. degree in Geographic Information Systems and Cartography from the
Institute of Remote Sensing Applications, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Beijing, China, in 2006. He is a
Research Scientist with Numerical Terradynamic Simulation Group, College of Forestry & Conservation, University
of Montana, Missoula, MT, USA. He has been an Associate
Researcher of the Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, CAS since 2010. From 2006 to 2007, he was a
Visiting Scientist with the Hydrology and Remote Sensing
Laboratory, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, MD, USA. His research
interests include microwave modeling of vegetation, soil
and snow signatures, and inversion models for retrieving
land surface parameters from remote sensing data. Dr. Du
is a member of the American Geophysical Union and IEEE
Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society.
5. IEEE GRSS SympoSIum pRIzE papER awaRd
The GRSS established the Symposium Prize Paper Award
to recognize the author(s) who presented at the IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium
(IGARSS) an exceptional paper in terms of content and
impact on the GRSS. In selecting the paper, other factors
considered are originality, clarity and timeliness of the
paper. The published versions of the papers in the Digest
shall also be evaluated. Prize: Certificate and $1,250,
equally divided between the authors.
The 2015 Symposium Prize Paper Award is presented
to Gemine Vivone, Rocco Restaino, Giorgio Licciardi,
Mauro Dalla Mura, and Jocelyn Chanussot with the citation: "For a very significant contribution to the field of endeavor
of the IEEE GRS Society in the paper co-authored by Gemine
Vivone, Rocco Restaino, Giorgio Licciardi, Mauro Dalla Mura,
and Jocelyn Chanussot entitled "Multiresolution Analysis and
Component Substitution Techniques for Hyperspectral Pansharpening," presented at the 2014 International Geoscience
and Remote Sensing Symposium, July 2014 in Quebec City,
Canada, IGARSS'14 Proceedings."
Gemine Vivone received the B.Sc. (cum laude),
the M.Sc. (cum laude), and the Ph.D. degrees in information engineering from the University of Salerno,
Salerno, Italy, in 2008, 2011, and 2014, respectively. He
is currently a Scientist in the Research Department at
