It is the objective of the EnMAP Science Advisory Group (EnSAG) to support communication with the wider EnMAP science community and to ensure scientific state-of-the-art data exploitation. In this context EnSAG is dedicated to the strategic planning and management of scientific algorithm and application development other than for ground processing.
Open Call for the EnSAG Application Working Group
Three years after the successful launch of the EnMAP mission and five years since the establishment of the current EnSAG structure, it is time to re-tender the EnSAG's Scientific Advisory Board to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness. The EnSAG is a key component of the EnMAP mission, providing a platform for experts to advise on the scientific exploitation and application of the mission data.
The EnSAG is composed of two working groups:
- A Validation Working Group (VWG) focused on mission performance, calibration, and validation, which will remain unchanged.
- An Application Working Group (AWG) dedicated to mission scientific exploitation and application, where we invite experts from the hyperspectral community to participate.
Open Call for the Application Working Group (AWG)
We are now inviting experts from the hyperspectral community to apply for the AWG. The AWG plays a critical role in the scientific exploitation and application of the EnMAP mission data and is closely tied to the ongoing improvement of the acquisition strategy, communication with the wider EnMAP science community, and state-of-the-art data exploitation. We are seeking new members with diverse expertise to join the group. This strategic move aims to:
- Attract new members with fresh perspectives and ideas to inject into the group.
- Confirm the commitment of current active members, solidifying the group's foundation.
If you are interested in joining the AWG, please submit your CV (including a short motivation paragraph - 1/2 page) to join the AWG to the following address: vera.krieger@dlr.de
The deadline for application is September 15.
The EnSAG is constructed into two different EnSAG working groups, a validation working group and an applications working group.
