Resumen
Descripción
After the 2011 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) was held at Vancouver, a discussion among some colleagues from the Western Technological Institute of Superior Studies (ITESO, Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente) and the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN, Instituto Politécnico Nacional), both from Mexico, showed the necessity to develop a connection between the academic and industrial research communities in remote sensing topics throughout Mexico.
The Chapter would offer the opportunity to foster collaboration among the different and research and development projects based on remote sensing techniques, under the leadership of a growing group of professionals in both, the academic and industrial fields. A search process began in order to locate the maximum number of researchers working in remote sensing applications throughout the Mexican territory. With the clear idea to create the Chapter, we were able to meet the minimum requirements set by IEEE, and the formal petition was carried.
On October 22nd, 2012, we received the letter from Cecelia Jankowski, Managing Director of Member and Geographic Activities of IEEE, informing us that the requirements of the MGA Board Operations Manual were met, and the IEEE Guadalajara Section Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society Chapter was formed, with a formation date set on October 4th, 2012 with the denomination GRS29 and geocode CH09422.
