Michel M. Verstraete
Michel M. Verstraete received his License en Physique (1974) from the Université Catholique de Louvain in Louvain-la-Nueve, Belgium, his License Spéciale en Géophysique (1976) from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, and both his M.Sc. in Meteorology (1978) and D.Sc. in Atmospheric Sciences (1985) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. He worked for the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva, Switzerland and Nairobi, Kenya from 1979-1981, at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, CO from 1982-1989, taught at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor from 1989-1990, and is currently employed at the Space Applications Institute (SAI) in Ispra, Italy. He is a member of various scientific advisory committees of the European Space Agency (e.g., MERIS) and is a MISR science team member. His initial work on topics such as the modeling of atmosphere-biosphere interactions and desertification led him to his current interest in the quantitative exploitation of satellite remote sensing data for the detection and characterization of terrestrial surface properties.
