FIGURE 14. The GRSS AdCom and supporting GRSS members at the AdCom meeting before IGARSS 2017 in Fort Worth.

The launch is scheduled for 2021. The eighth Earth Explorer
mission, FLEX, will provide global maps of vegetation fluorescence. Dr. Borgeaud also showed several e- xamples of scientific
results from the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-3 missions.
Barbara J. Ryan, Secretariat Director of the Intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) based in Geneva,
Switzerland, gave the final presentation (Figure 12). The GEO
comprises nearly 100 member states, the European Commission, and 90 international scientific and technical partner organizations. Under GEO leadership, millions of satellite -images
and other Earth observation data have been made available
to the general public at no charge, allowing scientists, planners, and policy makers to make better-informed decisions on
problems that transcend political boundaries. The GEO works
to address critical issues in agriculture, biodiversity, climate
change, disaster planning, energy, health, and water.
The closing remarks for the plenary session were delivered
by Saibun Tjuatja and David Kunkee, the IGARSS 2017 general cochairs. They said they were proud to host IGARSS 2017 in
Fort Worth. In addition to the general cochairs, the IGARSS
2017 Monday morning session was organized and supported
by Technical Program Cochairs Joel Johnson and Kun-Shan
Chen. Figure 13 shows the primary IGARSS 2017 organizers.

LOOKING FORWARD
The GRSS AdCom held a meeting over the two days before IGARSS, during which the venues and dates for future
IGARSS conferences were confirmed as follows:
◗◗ IGARSS 2018, Valencia, Spain, 23-27 July
◗◗ IGARSS 2019, Yokohama, Japan, 28 July-2 August
◗◗ IGARSS 2020, Kona, Hawaii, 19-24 July
◗◗ IGARSS 2021, Brussels, Belgium.
So you can now plan for these future IGARSS gatherings.
We look forward to meeting all of you at IGARSS 2018 in
Valencia at the Feria Valencia Convention and Exhibition
Center. Valencia is an extremely attractive city on the Spanish Mediterranean coast; so make sure to plan a few extra
days to explore the environs of IGARSS 2018. See you there!
ABOUT THE GRSS ADCOM
The IEEE GRSS AdCom holds three meetings per year
around the world. Its task is to promote the position of remote sensing in the IEEE and in the overall scientific community; to perform the organizational tasks needed to run
the Society, its publications, and its conferences; and to
develop a vision for the future. The current GRSS AdCom
members are shown in Figure 14.
