Dr. Bill Emery Bill Emery received his PhD in Physical Oceanography from the University of Hawaii in 1975. After working at Texas A&M University he moved to the University of British Columbia in 1978 where he created a Satellite Oceanography facility and program. He was appointed full professor in Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder Campus in 1987. He is active in the analysis of satellite data for oceanography, meteorology and terrestrial vegetation. His research focus areas are satellite sensing of sea surface temperature, mapping ocean surface currents, and terrestrial vegetation. He also works with passive microwave data for polar applications to ice motion and ice concentration as well as atmospheric water vapor studies. In addition his group writes analysis software and has establishes/operated data systems for the distribution of satellite data received by their own antennas. He is a member of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), and the Program in Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (PAOS). He is a co-author of 2 textbooks on physical oceanography, has translated 3 oceanographic books (German to English) and has authored over 120-refereed publications. He is a fellow of the IEEE, a member of the administrative committee of the Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society of the IEEE, and the chief editor of Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters.
