Annonce 4ième journée thématique du PNTS (24 mars 2016)

Cher(e)s collègues,

La 4ième journée thématique du Programme National de Télédétection Spatiale (PNTS) consacrée à l’«Apport des missions Sentinel-Copernicus à l’observation de la Terre », qui n’avait pu se tenir le 13 novembre 2015 suite aux attentats de Paris,  a été reportée au 24 Mars 2016. Elle se déroulera au CNES à Paris de 9h00 à 17h30. Le programme de la journée et les informations pratiques sont disponibles à l’adresse suivante :

http://www2.insu.cnrs.fr/2016/workshopPNTS/ .

L’objectif de cette journée sera de faire un point sur l’état des réalisations, innovations et potentiels des missions Sentinel pour la connaissance et l’observation du système Terre (atmosphère, océan, glaces, surfaces continentales, terre solide). Il s’agira également de présenter à la communauté scientifique les produits, les chaînes de traitement et les développements méthodologiques qui seront appliqués à ces missions spatiales pour déterminer les paramètres environnementaux.

La participation à cette journée est libre et gratuite, mais l’accès au CNES nécessite une déclaration préalable des participants. Vous êtes donc invité(e) à vous inscrire en remplissant le formulaire en ligne qui est mis à disposition sur le site internet du workshop avant le 1 mars 2016 (délai de rigueur).

Merci de bien vouloir diffuser cette annonce à toute personne que vous pensez pouvoir être intéressée.

En espérant votre participation,

Le Comité Scientifique du PNTS

IASIM 2016 – conference in spectral imaging

On behalf of the International Association for Spectral Imaging (IASIM), we have the pleasure to invite you to IASIM-2016, the sixth international conference in spectral imaging, which will be held in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (France), July 3rd-6th 2016.

The biannual IASIM conference is intended to provide a unified, open, cross-disciplinary and interactive forum for the exchange of information and ideas within the general spectral imaging community, regardless of the spectral or spatial range.

This conference will bring together speakers, contributors, attendants and exhibitors from areas covering all aspects of spectral imaging (microscopic, macroscopic, remote sensing) and a large part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It will include three days of scientific sessions, with oral and poster presentations on any facet of spectral imaging research. A partial list of possible topics within the multispectral / hyperspectral imaging field includes Instrumentation, Sampling, Imaging, Data/Image processing, Chemometrics and Applications.

Technical sessions will include keynote presentations by invited speakers, contributed presentations, panel discussions from members of the imaging community, posters and  exhibitors, promoting cross-talks and new ideas.

Offre de post-doc au Helmholtz Intitute Freiberg for Resource Technology

The position for a post-doctoral researcher (or a seasoned post-graduate) with focus on mineral spectroscopy and drill core scanning is now open. Dead line is Jan. 31st 2016.

The position is officially limited to 2 years but future options are open if the candidate is successful. Salary in not negotiable: there is a federal salary scale. Depending on your experience you will get a TV-B 13 with level 1,2 or 3. You can get a rough idea here (http://oeffentlicher-dienst.info/tv-l/west/)

What do we expect from the candidate: Play with the new equipment (A SPECIM SisuRock with hyperspectral cameras) and do good science within the “exploration” division as well as develop the interface with the divisions “analytics” and “modelling”. Focus: REE-In-Ga-Ge-W-Tn in all kind of mineral phases.

The idea is to develop the analysis of complex mineral systems at different scales using hyperspectral techniques.

Requirements:

  • PhD degree in the field of mineral spectroscopy or Master’s degree in Earth Sciences with a strong professional background in mineral spectroscopy
  • interdisciplinary thinking, independent scientific work and active communication with scientific partners
  • in-depth knowledge in the areas of geological hyperspectral imaging and mineral spectroscopy

Tasks:

  • installation and operation of a modern drillcore scanner with hyperspectral cameras (VNIR-SWIR-MWIR-LWIR)
  • development of new methodologies for the semi-automatic identification of complex minerals in drillcores
  • support of the development of adequate image processing
  • development of the interface between the divisions exploration, analytics and modelling
  • acquisition of third-party funding
  • data acquisition and reporting
