The NIR Community from ASD, Inc.

If you use an ASD instrument and any chemometrics software, this training is a great tool to better harness and expand your knowledge with the help of leading experts in the field.

This June 14 and 15, ASD customers will have the unique opportunity to  receive advanced and expert instrumentation training for remote sensing applications.

Dr. Paul Gamson and Dr. Sasha Pontual, AusSpec International

Meteo-Tech Ltd., ASD’s distributor in Israel, will be presenting “FieldSpec 4 – The new generation of the Field Spectroradiometer” at the Third Remote Sensing Student Conference in Midreshet Ben-Gurion, Israel on May 2-4. ASD is also proud to be a sponsor of this remote sensing event.

ASD Inc. is now accepting applications for consideration for the seventh annual Alexander Goetz Instrument Support Program. The program supports researchers during the year of 2013 by awarding them the use of the FieldSpec® 4 Standard-Res spectroradiometer or the FieldSpec HandHeld 2™ spectroradiometers.

As mentioned in our last post, ASD’s own Dr. Brian Curtiss will present“ Collection and Quality Control of Spectral Signatures in the Field” at the SPIE DS&S 2012 convention. Curtiss’ presentation will be during the Spectral Signatures, Special Libraries and Applications session.

Last week, we discussed the new era of digital data collection that made field spectroscopy feasible. Today, we’ll talk about the instruments that got us to where we are.

Two weeks from now, the SPIE 2012 Defense, Security and Sensing conference will convene - the largest unclassified event of its kind showcasing the latest in technology, thought leadership and technical presentations.

ASD’s own CTO and co-founder, Dr. Brian Curtiss, will present as one of the notable speakers at the conference. Additionally, ASD will demonstrate the latest in remote sensing technology at our booth #2210.

Curtiss’ presentation, “Collection and Control of Spectral Signatures in the Field,” promises to be a highlight of the conference.

Throughout the next few weeks, we will be featuring a series of blog articles based off a presentation by ASD’s Co-founder and Chief Scientist, Dr. Alexander F. H. Goetz. The content was presented at the symposium associated with the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the launch of the EO-1 mission, held at the Goddard Spaceflight Center on November, 30 - December 2, 2010.

Researchers are finding that remote sensing is now an even more powerful player in mineral exploration.
