Scientific Advisory Board
Once a year the Institute for Earth Observation calls the Scientific Advisory Board meeting which represents Eurac Research's central scientific body. Their role is to evaluate the results and to give feedback and recommendations for future activities and determine the direction of our research. The Scientific Advisory Board is composed of European and international experts who are appointed for four years.
The members for the 2025-2028 period:
Dr. Marie Dumont
Marie Dumont's extensive expertise in snow science, particularly her work in snow remote sensing utilizing both optical and radar data, aligns perfectly with the Mountain Cryosphere Group's focus on monitoring the mountain cryosphere.
Dr. Willigis Gallmetzer
Dr. Gallmetzer is the Director of the Centro Funzionale from the Civil Protection in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano (Italy). He has a long expertise in land monitoring, management of natural hazards, and analysis of extreme weather conditions.
Dr. William P. Kustas
William Kustas is a distinguished research hydrologist at the USDA-ARS Hydrology and Remote Sensing Laboratory (USA). Dr. Kustas's expertise in remote sensing and hydrology would be highly beneficial for several activities at the Institute for Earth Observation of Eurac.
Dr. Christian Massari
Dr. Christian Massari is a Senior Research Scientist at the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-IRPI, Perugia). He is internationally recognized for his expertise in the process understanding, monitoring, and forecasting of water-cycle extremes using Earth Observation data and land data assimilation systems.
Dr. Peter Strobl
Dr. Peter Strobl is Senior Scientific Officer at Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission in Ispra, Italy. Working in remote sensing for more than 30 years, he has extensive experience in many applications and deep insight into the processes and research around it.
