I am the Chief of the Terrestrial Information Systems Laboratory whose staff members include 8 civil servants and 73 contractors focused on the development and operation of data systems that produce, archive and distribute data products from Earth observing satellites and the development, characterization and validation of fundamental earth science data products used to study global change. I also manage two data systems that produce land, atmosphere and atmospheric chemistry products.
I manage the MODAPS data system which produces standard sceince products and products for near real-time applications from data collected by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Sprectroradiometer (MODIS) insruments on EOS Terra and Aqua and the Visibile Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument on Suomi-NPP.
Conduct research in land remote sensing in the areas of geobotanical remote sensing and spatial properties of remotely sensed data. Manage the comptuing facility supporting research in the Biospheric Sciences Branch.
