This Thursday’s special webinar will explore advanced hyperspectral imaging techniques and their applications in detail.

The title is “NASA JPL: Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) Mission to Oz: Hyperspectral Earth Observations for Ecosystem Science‘ webinar should be of great interest to Australia’s Earth observation community.

This joint event is a collaboration between NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), CSIRO, Earth Observation Australia and the New South Wales Space Research Network.

Two special guest speakers from JPL will participate in the webinar: Dr. Robert O. Green (Director and Senior Scientist, Microdevices Laboratory) and Dr. Dana Chadwick (Earth System Scientist).

Dr. Green will share more than 25 years of experience in developing advanced imaging spectrometer instruments for Earth missions, and Dr. Chadwick will provide insight into the use of hyperspectral imaging and LiDAR to understand ecosystem interactions and landscape evolution.

AVIRIS is an optical sensor payload that provides calibrated images in 224 consecutive spectral bands covering wavelengths from 400 to 2,500 nanometers.

AVIRIS, an airborne sensor, flew on four platforms: a high-flying NASA ER-2 jet, a Twin Otter commuter-style aircraft, Scaled Composites’ experimental Proteus, and NASA’s WB-57 jet.

According to NASA, Research conducted Research using AVIRIS data is primarily focused on understanding processes related to the global environment and climate change.
