Manuel Campos-Taberner works at the Universitat de Valencia as Senior Researcher teaching in different science degrees as well as in the Master’s Degree in Remote Sensing. He was responsible for the development of ERMES (FP7-SPACE) operational processing chains for biophysical parameters estimation over European rice plantations. In addition, he was in charge of developing a methodology for land use classification in Spain using deep learning from Copernicus Sentinel-1/2 data in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). He is currently working with the EUMETSAT Satellite Application Facility on Land Surface Analysis (LSA SAF). He is developing, implementing, and validating hybrid algorithms (physical + data-driven) for a set of biophysical variables, allowing their operational use from EUMETSAT geostationary and polar observations.

Beatriz Martínez has been teaching and working as a researcher at the Environmental Remote Sensing group in the Universitat de València since 2004 in Remote Sensing. Currently, she serves as assistant professor at the Faculty of Physics. Her mainly studies of work has been focused on the estimation and validation of biophysical satellite products (fAPAR, LAI and FVC), development of methodologies to detect vegetation changes using long satellite time-series and more recently the development of coarse satellite derived carbon flux products. She has been involved in operational initiatives for monitoring land surface within LSA SAF (EUMETSAT) and different Spanish dedicated to monitoring CO2 fluxes in Spain.

Sergio Sánchez-Ruiz is PI-Invest Doct Uv Senior in the Earth Physics and Thermodynamics deparmtnet. He started his research with thermal remote sensing on the estimation of atmospheric water content and temperature-emissivity separation algorithm. After his M.Sc, he worked for a year in the validation of soil moisture from the SMOS mission in the REMEDHUS network, Salamanca, Spain. In 2014, he started working in the Environmental Remote Sensing Group in Universitat de València on the optimization of models for the estimation of carbon fluxes between biosphere and atmosphere through the combination of remote sensing data and ecosystem process models. Currently, he serves there as a senior researcher and teaches different science degrees as well as the Remote Sensing Masters degree.
