Pierre Guillevic

Dr. Pierre Guillevic received a Ph.D. in Radiative Transfer and Land Surface Modeling from Paul Sabatier University, Toulouse, France, in 1999. During his postdoctoral work with the Hydrological Sciences branch at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, he participated in the NASA Seasonal to Interannual Prediction Project (NSIPP) and studied the influence of the interannual variability of vegetation parameters derived from satellite observations on seasonal climate prediction. In 2003, he joined the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussées (LCPC) (French Government research laboratory on public works) in France, as a research scientist. He conducted research on water and energy balance of urban surface for applications in road safety and urban hydrology, including field experiments and modeling approach. From 2007 and 2010, he developed new skills, mostly management and financial related, as a business engineer at VINCI, a major player in Europe’s construction, environment, energy and information technology services. His main research interests are the retrieval of land biophysical parameters from satellite remotely sensed observations with a focus on land surface temperature, and the calibration and validation of satellite products.

Dr. Guillevic joined CICS-NC as a senior scientist on July 1, 2010.
