CRSS Gold Medal Banquet. "Bridging Excellence"

Wednesday June 24: Evening.

Another first - we are honouring the full set of Gold Medalists. As part of our "Bridging Excellence" theme, and because this is our 30th Symposium, we are honouring many of the founding Canadian Remote Sensing Scientists who have made numerous, and seminal, contributions to this field and its growth in Canada for over 3 decades. We will be hosting the first-ever gathering of all CRSS Gold Medal recipients - the highest remote sensing award in our country.

The 2009 CRSS-SCT Gold Medalist will be announced at this Banquet.

The individuals being honoured are listed below, and include scientists from all sectors.
A full slate of CRSS-SCT professional and student awards will also be announced and presented. Additional events involving Gold Medalists will occur the following day.

CRSS Gold Medal Award

The CRSS Gold Medal Award was introduced in 1986 to recognize either a significant new advance in remote sensing research, development, technology or applications, or a significant long-term contribution to the field of remote sensing in Canada. The Gold Medal is the highest award granted by the Canadian Remote Sensing Society for excellence in remote sensing.
