Abstract

Dr. Gail Skofronick-Jackson (IEEE Fellow), 58, died suddenly September 7, 2021. Skofronick-Jackson was deployed with a joint NASA-ESA sub-orbital campaign in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. On a day off from experiments, she perished in a tragic accident while hiking with colleagues. Skofronick-Jackson's contributions to satellite remote sensing spanned 25 years of remote sensing research, NASA spaceflight mission leadership, professional volunteerism, and scientific program management.
