Alexander Goetz Instrument Support ProgramIn recognition of the long-standing contribution of our co-founder to the field of remote sensing, and in honor of his 21 years with the University of Colorado, ASD has established this annual program designed to further encourage a creative research environment within the Remote Sensing and Field Spectroscopy world-wide community. The intent is to provide a simple mechanism for supporting small research efforts which can quickly establish concept viability, or rule out further consideration, by providing temporary use of a field spectroradiometer, which might otherwise be difficult to obtain. Additionally, up to a total of $500 in publication charges (if the resulting paper is published in an approved publication) and/or travel assistance and print charges for presentation of an accepted abstract at a relevant scientific conference will be provided for each recipient. This program encourages novel, unconventional and/or fundamental research. Proposals should be inventive, might be opportunistic, and need not have an immediate practical application or guarantee of success. Additional consideration will be given to proposals that bridge boundaries between traditional disciplines. A minimum of three, and maximum of ten, recipients will be selected for the 2010 calendar year. Deadline: 15th October
