Biography
Dr. Krishna Prasad Vadrevu is a remote sensing scientist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, USA. His research focuses on land cover and land use change (LCLUC), fire dynamics, and biomass burning emissions. With 25 years of experience in satellite remote sensing, he has an extensive publication record. He is the Deputy Program Manager for NASA's LCLUC Program and leads the South/Southeast Asia Research Initiative.
Dr. Christopher Justice is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Geographical Sciences at the University of Maryland, College Park, USA, with 45 years of experience in remote sensing research. He is a Project Scientist for the NASA LCLUC Program, the Land Discipline Lead for NASA MODIS, and a Suomi-NPP VIIRS Science Team member. Additionally, he is the Co-Chair of the GEO Global Agricultural Monitoring Initiative (GEOGLAM), Chief Scientist for NASA HARVEST, and Chair of the international Global Observations of Forest and Land Use Dynamics (GOFC-GOLD) program.
Dr. Garik Gutman is Program Manager for the NASA Land-Cover/Land-Use Change (LCLUC) Program. After 14 years of research on deriving land surface variables from satellite data at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), he joined NASA Headquarters in 1999 and has been leading the LCLUC program, as well as Landsat-related activities, at NASA for over 25 years. He is the author of over 90 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals and of several chapters in various climate- and land-cover related scientific volumes.
