Rebecca Moore is Director of Google Earth, Earth Engine and Earth Outreach. In April 2017, her team launched the “new” Google Earth, reinvented for the web for the first time. She initiated and leads the development of Google Earth Engine, a cloud technology platform that puts an unprecedented amount of satellite data online and enables scientists to conduct global-scale monitoring and measurement of changes in the earth’s environment. In 2017, Earth Engine won the ASPRS Outstanding Technical Achievement award. Rebecca also conceived and leads the Google Earth Outreach program, which supports nonprofits, educators and indigenous communities in applying Google's mapping tools to the world's most pressing problems in environmental conservation, human rights and cultural preservation.

Rebecca’s personal work using Google Earth was instrumental in stopping the logging of more than a thousand acres of redwoods in her Santa Cruz Mountain community. She received a bachelor’s degree in artificial intelligence with honors from Brown University and a master’s degree from Stanford University. In 2013, Rebecca received the Zoological Society of London Award for Conservation Innovation, and was recognized by the White House as a Champion of Change for Open Science. In 2016, she was honored with the Rachel Carson Award from the National Audubon Society.

Pete is the associate coordinator for the National Land Imaging Program (NLIP) at the USGS National Center in Reston, Virginia. A significant portion of NLIP resources are dedicated to supporting the ground segment of the Landsat Program. Pete's current interests include advancing sustainable land imaging, operationalizing data science, and leveraging small sat and UAS data into an integrated analysis strategy. His vision is to advance our understanding of interconnected Earth processes via the implementation of big data science constructs that integrate heterogeneous observables derived from in-situ and remote sensors.

Pete started down the path of geomatics in 1990, which has included positions with federal government, academia, and the private sector. His past projects included applied work in machine learning/computer vision, geopositioning/registration, and spatial analysis of uncertainty, and using a variety remote sensing data types across topographic and hydrographic domains.

Pete has a PhD in spatial information engineering (UMaine); MS in geomatics engineering (Purdue); and a BS in engineering physics (UMaine).

Pierre is the Sentinel-1 Mission Manager at ESA. His current role focuses on managing the exploitation phase of both Sentinel-1 satellites through the delegation of tasks to the ESA teams involved in the Sentinel-1 operations. Another part of his job is to interface for Sentinel-1 mission aspects with the Copernicus services, ESA Member States, international partners and, through relevant workshops or forum, the Sentinel-1 user communities. One objective is also to encourage the broad use of Sentinel-1 data, capture new user needs and promote the mission in new application and scientific domains.

Pierre began working at ESA’s Centre for Earth Observation (ESRIN) in Italy more than 20 years ago, where he developed a strong base in Earth Observation. He was heavily involved in the Envisat mission, as part of the ground segment team and then with the mission management office.

Subsequently, he worked on GMES/Copernicus programmatic matters, before taking the responsibility of Sentinel-1 Mission Manager in 2010.

Pierre holds a degree in Engineering from Ecole Française d’Electronique et d’Informatique and a Master’s degree in Space Systems from Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, both in France.
