Name: Dr Dale Quattrochi Current Position: NASA, Earth Science Office Role: Satellite Measurement of Meteorological Conditions Specialist Telephone Number: +1 256 961 7887 E‐mail: dale.quattroch@msfc.nasa.gov Dr. Dale Quattrochi is a Senior Research Scientist with the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama and has over 23 years of experience in the field of Earth science remote sensing research and applications. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Utah, his M.S. degree from the University of Tennessee, and his B.S. degree from Ohio University, all in geography. Dr. Quattrochiʹs research interests focus on the application of thermal remote sensing data for analysis of heating and cooling patterns across the diverse urban landscape, which form the dome of elevated air temperatures over cities known as the urban heat island effect. He is also conducting research on the applications of geospatial statistical techniques, such as fractal analysis, to multiscale remote sensing data. Dr. Quattrochi is the recipient of the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal, NASAʹs highest science award. He is the co‐editor of two books: Scale in Remote Sensing and GIS (with Michael Goodchild) published in 1997 by CRC/Lewis Publishers, and Thermal Remote Sensing in Land Surface Processes (with Jeffrey Luvall) published in 2003 by Taylor & Francis.
