• IEEE (confidentially, Eye-triple-E) is a non-profit, technical professional association of more than 377,000 individual members in 150 countries. The full name is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., although the organization is most popularly known and referred to by the letters I-E-E-E. Territorial and technical groups support the IEEE activities–—

• IEEE is organized in various technical societies. The IEEE Central Italy Chapter (GRS-S29) of Florence refers to the Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society and is hosted by IFAC-CNR

• The Geoscience and Remote Sensing (GRS) Society seeks to advance geoscience and remote sensing science and technology through scientific, technical and educational activities. The Society strives to promote a high level of technical excellence among its members by exchange of information through conferences, meetings, workshops, publications, and through its committees to provide for the needs of its members.
  The GRS society annually organizes the International Geoscience And Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) which gathers more than 1000 international participants. Next IGARSS’s will be held in Melbourne, Australia in 2013 and in Quebec City, Canada in 2013.

• L’IEEE è un associazione no-profit di professionisti composta da più da 377.000 partecipanti distribuiti in 150 nazioni. E’ d’uso indicarla col solo acronimo che viene letto “ai-traipl-i” e che per esteso indica l’Istituto degli Ingegneri Elettrici ed Elettronici. Sebbene l’associazione nasca in ambito ingegneristico non è in realtà limitata e ristretta agli Ingegneri. L’IEEE si sviluppa mediante un organizzazione capillare territoriale e per aree tematiche.

• L’IEEE è organizzata in differenti società tecniche. L'IEEE Central Italy Chapter (GRS-S29) di Firenze fa riferimento alla Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society e è ospitato da IFAC-CNR

• L'associazione GRS organizza numerose conferenze internazionali ed attivi nel campo dei vari aspetti teorici ed applicativi dell’osservazione della terra da satellite. La società promuove inoltre numerosi comitati e scambi culturali. La Società organizza un congresso annuale plenario il cui acronimo è IGARSS e che raccoglie la partecipazione di oltre 1000 partecipanti da tutto il mondo. I prossimi IGARSS si terranno a Melbourne in Australia nel luglio 2013 e a Quebec City in Canada nel 2014.

Simonetta Paloscia received her degree in agricultural sciences in 1979, from the University of Florence. After graduation she joins the National Research Council (C.N.R.), where she worked in agrometeorology and remote sensing studies concerning agricultural crops. Since 1987 she has been with IFAC-CNR (Institute of Applied Physics), where she continued studying natural surfaces using microwave and infrared remote sensing techniques. Her research currently concerns with the study of microwave emission and scattering of soil (both bare and snow-covered) and vegetation. Since 2001 she is Senior Scientist, and since January 2004 she is leader of the Microwave Remote Sensing group at IFAC, and scientific responsible of the research line "Sviluppo di tecnologie per la generazione, il trattamento e l'interpretazione di immagini e dati telerilevati della superficie terreste", within the framework of the Earth & Environment Dept. of CNR. She had participated in various microwave remote sensing campaigns (SAR-580, AGRISAR, AGRISCATT'87, AGRISCATT'88, MAC'91 and SIR-C/X-SAR), where she has coordinated the activities of ground truth data collection and data analysis. She was co-investigator of the SIR-C/X-SAR and ERS-1/2 projects, and Principal investigator of JERS-1 project. She participated in many European Projects where she was co-investigators in NOPEX-Forest Dynamo, ReSeDA, and ENVISNOW EC Programs and was scientific responsible for the FLAUBERT and FLOODMAN. Since 1996 she is Principal Investigators in a Science Team of JAXA (Japan Space Agency), within the framework of the project Advanced Earth Observing Satellite, for the use of AQUA/AMSR-E and G-COM/AMSR-2 microwave data in algorithms for measuring soil moisture and vegetation biomass from satellites. She was responsible of projects and sub-projects of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana).

She has a temporary teaching contract of "Microwave Remote Sensing Applications" for a Professional Master "Geomatics and Natural Resources Evaluation" at the Istituto Agronomico per l'Oltremare of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Florence.

She was member of organizing committees of some international meetings, such as the Specialist Meeting on Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing Applications, hold in Florence in 1988, 1999, and 2008 and the annual International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS). She was Symposium Coordinator of IGARSS 1995 and General Co-chair of the MicroRad 1999 and 2008 meetings organized in Florence.

She is a regular referee of the following international journals: IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, Remote Sensing of the Environment and International Journal of Remote Sensing. She is also Associate Editor of the International Journal of Remote Sensing.

She is Senior member of IEEE, since 2006 and of the Electromagnetics Academy of Cambridge (MA, USA). In 2012 she has been elevated to the grade of IEEE Fellow with the motivation: "for contributions to active and passive microwave remote sensing of vegetation and land surfaces". She is also Vice-President of the URSI commission F since 2011 and Chair of the GRSS Chapter of the IEEE Italy Section since 2010.

She is member of the Associazione Italiana di Telerilevamento (AIT) and Treasurer from 2004 to 2010.
