About
Global Change Unit
The research group behind IPL-HRTM.
The Global Change Unit (GCU) is a research group of the Image Processing Laboratory (IPL) at the Universitat de València. Founded by Prof. José Antonio Sobrino, the unit has been developing algorithms and products in thermal remote sensing for over 25 years.
Our algorithms have been applied to AVHRR, MODIS, SLSTR, SEVIRI, ASTER, and the Landsat series. Since 2011 we operate a network of six permanent calibration/validation stations across Spain. The current project, IPL-HRTM, focuses on the next generation of high-resolution thermal missions: LSTM (ESA), TRISHNA (CNES/ISRO), and SBG (NASA).
