Victor F. Rodríguez-Galiano is a Full Professor at the Department of Physical Geography and Regional Geographical Analysis, University of Seville (Spain). His research focuses on remote sensing for environmental monitoring, artificial intelligence applied to geospatial modelling, and land surface phenology. He appears in the “World Top 2% Scientist Ranking” by Stanford University and has led numerous national and European research projects. He is the Principal Investigator of the ESA-funded project EO4CerealStress, and is responsible for the validation of the Copernicus High Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (HR-VPP) product under contract with the European Environment Agency (EEA).
He co-chairs the Phenology Focus Area of the CEOS Land Product Validation (LPV) subgroup, an international initiative under the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) that coordinates the global validation of satellite-derived biophysical products. The LPV subgroup is chaired by NASA, and he actively collaborates with its secretariat in developing the validation protocol for satellite-based phenology products. He also serves as convenor of the dedicated session on phenology at the ESA Living Planet Symposium.
