Background

Professor Andrew Skidmore is Head of the Department of Natural Resources at the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) in the Netherlands, and Professor of Land Cover Mapping and Monitoring at Wageningen University. Originally a graduate in forestry from the Australian National University (ANU), he worked for 10 years with State Forests of New South Wales (NSW) and undertook a PhD in remote sensing and GIS at the Australian National University. In 1991 he moved to the School of Geography, University of New South Wales, and also worked as member and later Director of the Centre for Remote Sensing and GIS. Vegetation mapping and monitoring have been his main ongoing research theme, while recent research includes wildlife habitat assessment in East Africa, hyperspectral remote sensing, AI techniques for handling geoinformation and accuracy assessment.
