The reinvigorated South African GRSS Chapter

Abstract

Looking ahead, the South African GRSS Chapter is investigating the possibility of organizing a meeting with local GRSS members, universities, and other remote-sensing organizations with the purpose of engaging undergraduate and early postgraduate students. The intent is to foster growth within the South African community for geoscience and remote-sensing topics by exposing students to the local GRSS community, leaders in related fields, and organizations that have an interest in these areas. In addition, the Chapter is continually looking for opportunities to meet and increase membership wherever possible. The South African GRSS Chapter is devoted to the growth of geoscience and remote-sensing topics and education, not only in South Africa but throughout the African continent. Our Chapter maintains a professional group of researchers and scientists dedicated to local and international collaboration with an eye toward connecting industry partners with the latest research in the geoscience and remote-sensing community.
