Alexander Goetz

Hyperspectral imaging pioneer Alexander Goetz began working with and developing remote sensing measurement techniques and instrumentation during his PhD work at the California Institute of Technology (CIT), where he received his doctorate in 1967. He was still developing new technologies for the field more than 40 years later.  Goetz’ research interests have included application of remote sensing to challenges across both industry and science, from mineral and petroleum exploration to ecology and Earth mapping.
