GRSS signs MoUs with IEEE AP-S and MTT-S to strengthen collaboration and cooperation
 Chicago – On June 17, 2023, the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) signed separate agreements with two of its IEEE sister societies aimed at renewing focus on joint membership development and professional activities.
Through the MoUs, the parties will facilitate knowledge exchange and enable the dissemination of best practices, research findings, and industry trends through joint technical or social meetings that can be organized within the local chapters. Both sister societies will jointly work with GRSS in recruiting new members and encourage current members to become members of both Sister Societies. In addition, the parties will explore the possibility of a joint distinguished lecturer program and jointly-sponsored special issues programs. Read more...

Director of Industry Relations
Hi! My name is Nathan Longbotham and I am the 2023 Director of Industry Relations for the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS). I have been involved with GRSS for more than a decade having been introduced to the society during my graduate studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. My volunteer work at GRSS has mostly revolved around industry and the activities of interest to that portion of our community.
|
|
That has included the development of events that have recently been somewhat unique to GRSS, including hackathons, startup workshops, and industry panels. In the last few years, this has coalesced into an ongoing effort to develop the Technology, Industry, and Education (TIE) Forum that has become a staple at IGARSS around the world!
I am particularly excited about this type of content, both at IGARSS and in broader society activities, because it can engage a large portion of our community that is more operationally focused. Additionally, this sort of content can help build a bridge for our current community members both into the highly specialized development work present in industry and toward becoming a founder of a geospatial startup. We want to help the members of GRSS develop the unique science that is present in the community into the next generation of startups. Along those lines, be sure to check out our limited podcast series Beyond the Map Tiles where industry members discuss recent developments in the geospatial development stack.
In my day job, I am the Director of Product at EOI Space where we are building a first of its kind very low earth orbit (VLEO) optical constellation that will produce 15 cm spatial resolution imagery. I have a somewhat broad background, having previously led and contributed to both software and hardware based remote sensing projects utilizing a variety of technologies, including computational information estimation, tunable ultraviolet lasers for holographic data storage drives, and Q-switched microlasers for LIDAR systems.
