El Dr. Omar Torres del Goddard Space Flight Center de la NASA, brindará en nuestra Facultad la charla "Uso de observaciones satelitales para estudios atmosféricos". La actividad se realizará en el salón de seminarios IFFI (piso 7) el viernes 30 de noviembre a las 14 h.
En la presentación se describirá el proceso de percepcion remota aplicado a observaciones satelitales con especial enfasis a la medicion de aerosoles atmosféricos.
La presentación será en español.
Brief Bio
Omar Torres received the B.S. degree in geodetic engineering from Universidad Distrital FranciscoJose de Caldas, Bogota, Colombia, an M.S. degree in meteorology from the University of The Philippines, Quezon City, Philippines, and a Ph.D.degree in atmospheric sciences from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA, in 1990. Between 1989 and 1999, he was associated with STX and other industry organizations in support of NASA atmospheric remote sensing projects. In 1999 he became a research Associate Professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD, USA. He joined Hampton University (Hampton, Virginia) in 2008 as an Associate Professor at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences. In 2011, he accepted a position at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, where he continues to carry out research work in UV atmospheric remote sensing applications with special emphasis in the characterization of aerosol absorption properties from satellite UV observations by the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer and Ozone Monitoring Instrument sensors. He has authored and coauthored over 70 peer-reviewed publications.
