Background

About Michelle While

Most recently processed ground data from ECCOE and international sources for the validation and vicarious calibration of Landsat Satellite Operational Land Imager I and II. Assisted in the production of the “2021 Surface Reflectance Validation and Vicarious Calibration Report”, ECCOE and NPL Interoperability Definition Proof of Concept paper (to be published in late 2022/early2023), Landsat8/Landsat 9 Underfly ECCOE Efforts paper (to be published in 2023), supported numerous Technical Interchange Meeting presentations from 2020-2022, and prepared Landsat 7 and 8 standard calibration procedure documents prior to Collection 2 delivery. For KBR - Technical Support Services Contract (TSSC) to the USGS Earth Resources, Observation, and Science Calibration/Validation Center of Excellence as a Principal Technical Professional - Systems Engineer. Lay-off due to lack of funds. In every environment I have contributed, the most important element contributing to my job satisfaction is effectively supporting the team and making meaningful contributions to team outcomes. My first week at EROS, I knew very little about remote sensing but I knew quite a lot about LaTeX. So when my team members needed help with formating or coding, I would jump in and fix their code so they could continue focusing on their content. It set us up for some very productive sessions over the next two-and-a-half years as I became more familiar with remote sensing.
