Background	Jose F. Moreno obtained a degree in Theoretical Physics from the University of Valencia. After several years working in the Astrophysics Group, he is presently teaching at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Valencia, as Professor of Earth Physics, and working on different national and international projects related to remote sensing and space research as responsible for the Laboratory for Earth Observation. He is working on the development of data processing algorithms for multisource data integration and multisensor/multiresolution studies, including optical/microwave synergy and optical hyperspectral data processing, for modelling and monitoring land surface processes, with special interest in numerical techniques for theoretical model inversion applied to remote sensing data. He has participated actively in the design and development of several remote sensing experiments, such as the EFEDA (European Field Experiment on a Desertification-threatened Area) experiment in Spain. During 1995-1996 he was a visiting scientist at the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, USA, where he was working in optical-microwave synergistic studies. He has been involved in several European research networks, including the European Network for the development of Advanced MOdels to interpret Remote Sensing data over terrestrial environments (ENAMORS), and the European Radar-Optical Research Assemblage (ERA-ORA) network. He also participated in the RESMEDES (Remote Sensing and Mediterranean Desertification) project, and was responsible scientist in the European projects: STAAARTE (Scientific Training and Access to Aircraft for Atmospheric Research Throughout Europe), FLAUBERT (Flood in Arid Units by Earth Remote Techniques), AIMWATER (Analysis, Investigation and Monitoring of Water resources) and several other projects related to water monitoring and water management, such as DEMETER (DEMonstration of Earth observation TEchnologies in Routine irrigation advisory services). He is also a member of the local Institute for Desertification Research, of the Spanish National Research Council CSIC, and participates actively in many national and international activities in the field of Remote Sensing. He has participated in several campaigns with airborne sensors, such as EFEDA, MAC Europe 91, STAAARTE´97, STAAARTE´99, and coordinated the ground activities for the campaigns in La Mancha, Spain, as preparation for the Land Surface Processes and Interactions Mission within the framework of the ESA Earth Explorer Programme, called DAISEX. He also coordinated the SPARC (SPECTRA Barrax Campaigns) by using CHRIS/PROBA data in preparation of the ESA SPECTRA mission. He has also coordinated activities in preparation of the Sentinel missions within the GMES programme (SEN2FLEX, AgriSAR). Author of many publications in the field, including several book chapters, Dr. Moreno has served as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions of Geoscience and Remote Sensing (1994-2000), and was a member of the European Space Agency Earth Sciences Advisory Committee (1998-2002), the Space Station Users Panel (SSUP) and other advisory committees (ESA, European Union, European Science Foundation, Eumetsat). Prof. Moreno coordinated the proposal for the Fluorescence Explorer (FLEX), a candidate ESA Earth Explorer Core Mission, and is currently chairman of the FLEX Mission Advisory Committee. He is also involved din the Spanish mission SEOSAT within the ESA GMES programme.
Activities in education	Prof. Moreno is regularly teaching Remote Sensing courses at the University of Valencia, including PhD courses but also more elementary courses for students of Physics and Engineering. He is also involved in a Master on Remote Sensing, another Master on Remote Sensing and GIS, and a Master on Biodiversity that also includes remote sensing applications. He has been also invited lecturer on occasional basis on other Master courses and regular PhD courses of several universities. He has contributed in a textbook publication on remote sensing, and has participated in the elaboration of teaching material, that includes both practical laboratory image processing and data analysis tools, as well as practical radiometric measurements with spectroradiometers in laboratory and field conditions.
