Satoshi TSUCHIDA
Visiting Researcher

I joined the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) in 1992 to engage research in geological and environmental remote sensing and calibration/validation of infrared and visible optical data from earth observation satellites. I have mainly worked on the investigation of ASTER/EOS-AM1(NASA/METI) and HISUI/ISS(METI) projects and joined other sensor projects, for example, AVIRIS(NASA)CAVNIR/ADEOS(NASDA), Hyperion/EO1(NASA)CGLI/ADEOS2(NASDA), GOSAT2(JAXA) and etc.
