GRSS educational activities
Planning for 2013
I. OvervIew
his article relates to the Educational activities of the
GRSS. There is a change in format to support the
quarterly GRS Magazine, which has just launched, emerging from the Newsletter. I have just taken over from our
very able director, Antonio Plaza, who has moved on to
become an Editor of the Society's Transactions. Thus,
the first part of the article will discuss my plans for educational activities. This is a programme that has to fit
into the cycle of activities of the Society. You will notice
that I am very keen for members to use this forum to report on Educational drives, and that we should establish
a regular set of topics related to Education.

The Administration Committee (AdCom) of our Society ensures that, based on input from the membership,
members see benefit in being part of our community. An
important part of why we are members of GRSS is that
we can interact technically, and, learn from colleagues
through journal, conference and workshop contributions. In exchange, we contribute to these. Although
much of this interaction is via published works, there
is an important need to develop the next generation of
remote sensors: this is very much the business of the
Education Directorship. There is also a need for continuing professional development (CPD) for all levels of
member, so that we can continue to contribute to our
employers and society.
The intention is not to be prescriptive, but to act as a
coordinator, and through this column, to assist in publication of educational drives. There is an open invitation
for you to let me know about your plans so that we can

devote space in this column. However, bear in mind the
deadlines that are forced on us by the publication cycle.
The Education Director can also apply to the AdCom
for funding to assist educational activities. Budgets
are tougher and tougher, as we all know, but please
approach me with education initiatives that might need
some assistance. Remember also that funding is done a
year ahead, so good notice is required. A regular feature
of the budget is the assistance that we give to people to
attend the IGARSS every year. Clearly student applications are strongly supported, as this is a very good way
for students to see that advantages of being a member
of the Society.
A new innovation falling under the Director Education is the GRSS Summer School. The first was held in
association with the IGARSS 2012 in Munich, and was
reported in the Newsletter. The next will occur in Melbourne, Australia, in the week before IGARSS 2013 in
the same city.
Associated with each IGARSS is a series of short (half
or one day) tutorials, offered by volunteers who receive a
small stipend. These are not necessarily introductory in
nature. They are popular, as supported by the IGARSS
survey that we do every year. It is my intention to assist
the IGARSS organizers with these, to make sure there is
articulation with the new GRSS Summer School. Thus,
if you are interested, please contact me.
Student prizes at the IGARSS is an Educational activity, and is run very successfully as part of the IGARSS
process by senior members of the Society, so at present,
not changes seem necessary. Student achievements are
usually published as part of report on IGARSS that the
Magazine will carry, as did the Newsletter before.
Under Education, we shall continue to collect newly
published Ph.D. Theses. Contact information is given
down below.
