Dear GHRSST community, 

The call for abstracts for the International Workshop on High-Resolution Thermal EO is closing on 15 January 2023. The call for abstracts for OSOS-3 will close on 11 December 2022. The GHRSST project office is happy to help you organise your contribution, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

A job vacancy for a postdoc position to work on ECOSTRESS has been published by the University of South Carolina and NASA JPL. Please see the details below.

Kind regards, 

Chiara Bearzotti and Pia Wind
Your GHRSST Project Office

The European Space Agency, together with ASI, CNES, ISRO and NASA is organising the International Workshop on High-Resolution Thermal EOto be held at ESA/ESRIN on 10-12 May 2023.

The Call for Abstract is open. Please submit your contribution @ https://www.conftool.pro/thermal2023/.
The deadline for abstract submission is: 15 January 2023.

High-resolution thermal Earth Observation (EO) has been identified as a major observational gap in our rapidly warming climate. Land-surface temperature is a key variable needed for understanding and adapting to climate variability, managing water resources sustainably for agricultural production, mitigating health stress during heatwaves, predicting droughts, monitoring coastal and inland waters and addressing natural hazards such as fires and volcanoes.
The main objectives of the workshop are:

  • Assess the status of current and planned international high-resolution thermal missions for terrestrial and coastal applications
  • Review the main related activities and projects in the relevant science and operational application areas
  • Prepare the community for the use of the upcoming high-resolution thermal missions
  • Strengthen international cooperation and coordination in the space and ground segment operation, calibration and validation, products definition & harmonization, data access and data exploitation
  • Identify high-priorities topics for future R&D activities supporting the preparation of thermal EO applications


More information on the objectives and main topics of the workshop can found on the event website @ https://thermal2023.esa.int/

We look forward to receiving your kind contribution!
Thank you.
Best regards,
Emmanuelle Autret, on behalf of the Thermal EO 2023 Workshop Organising Committee 

Job vacancy Postdoctoral Position 
Duration: 3 years
 
Postdoctoral scholar needed to conduct research in remote sensing of sea surface temperature from the ECOSTRESS thermal radiometer on the International Space Station
 
Duties 
Test alternative split-window sea surface temperature algorithms for ECOSTRESS by comparison to in-situ observations (NOAA iQuam, Saildrone, Ships4SST). Develop/implement ocean cloud mask algorithm for ECOSTRESS.  Develop process for correcting systematic biases in ECOSTRESS imagery.  Work on validation of sea surface temperature product, including gradients in collaboration with Jorge Vazquez (JPL). Develop product for distribution through the NASA PO.DAAC, including integration with cloud services and compliance with Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GDS2) standards for SST products.
 
The distribution of duties is:
30% algorithm development
30% algorithm validation
20% develop product for distribution through NASA PO.DAAC 
20% prepare written manuscripts for publication in the primary research literature, that describe the results and their significance.
 
Knowledge/Skills
Experience with remotely sensed ocean data. Ability to write and edit programs in computer languages FORTRAN and C, and write and edit data processing scripts in Python, R or Matlab.  Ability to carry out statistical analyses of data. Ph.D. degree required. Must be fluent in English. Some knowledge of French desirable but not required.
 
Site of Service
First 12-16 weeks will be at the University of South Carolina, and after that will be based at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California.
