Biography:
Dr. Bruce Guenther completed his doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh in 1974. He became a member of the research staff at GSFC, and worked there for over 15 years as project scientist on the Earth
Observing System (EOS)-AM Project, responsible for calibration and data product validation. Dr. Guenther developed the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Characterization
Support Team, and was responsible for the first publicly available EOS data sets. He then became a
systems engineering fellow at Lockheed Martin Missiles Space Operations, working on the National
Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) system. Dr. Guenther returned to
GSFC under the auspices of GEST as leader of the NPOESS Preparatory Project sensor calibration and
data product validation effort. He has published extensively in the peer-reviewed literature, and has made
presentations at many scientific meetings.
