Technical Meeting -- The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) Mission: An India-US partnership for monitoring a dynamic planet on 15th Nov 2016 at CLT, IITM
by Mohan Hr 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Dear all, Pl. share this event details with your colleagues / friends Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras presents a public lecture by Dr. Paul Rosen, sponsored by the IIT Madras Alumni Association, with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Madras Section: Title: The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) Mission: An India-US partnership for monitoring a dynamic planet Speaker: Dr. Paul Rosen, Jet Propulsion Laboratory When: 5:30pm, 15 Nov. 2016 (Tuesday) Where: Central Lecture Theatre, IIT Madras (Google maps: http://goo.gl/QX9MJh) Abstract: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are developing NISAR, an Earth-orbiting science and applications mission to measure the changing Earth. The mission’s primary objectives are the study of land and ice deformation, and changes in ecosystems – biomass, agriculture, and wetlands – in areas of common interest to the US and Indian science and applications communities.This leads to over 1 petabyte of raw radar data acquired each year which expands by several factors after processing. This talk will discuss the nature of the science problems this mission is attempting to address with these spatially and temporally dense time series, the consequent mission design and technology approach, some of the challenges we face in optimizing a scientifically, programmatically, and politically complex mission, and some of the challenges and opportunities for scientific exploitation and discovery in this unique data set. Speaker bio: Paul Rosen is currently Project Scientist for the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Mission at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. From 2006-2012, he was the manager of the Radar Science and Engineering Section. His assignments at JPL have centered on scientific and engineering research and development of radar instruments and applications, particularly in the area of SAR interferometry. Dr. Rosen was a team leader on the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, for which he received NASA's Exceptional Service Medal (2001) and NASA's Exceptional Achievement Medal (2002). Prior to JPL Dr. Rosen spent two years at Kanazawa University in Kanazawa, Japan studying wave propagation in the ionosphere. He received a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University working on Voyager 2 radio occultation of Saturn’s rings, and his M.S. and B.S in Electrical Engineering from University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Rosen is a visiting faculty member and lecturer at the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences at Caltech, and has served on the UCLA Extension Program faculty. He is an IEEE Fellow, and currently serves on the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society Administrative Committee.

Should Indian researchers pay to get their work published ?
by Vittal varaha murali 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Dear Moderator, I request you to post the below in LIS forum. Should Indian researchers pay to get their work published? We raise the financial and ethical issue of paying for getting papers published in professional journals. Indian researchers have published more than 37,000 papers in over 880 open access journals from 61 countries in the five years 2010-14 as seen from Science Citation Index Expanded. This accounts for about 14.4% of India’s overall publication output, considerably higher than the 11.6% from the world. Indian authors have used 488 OA journals levying article processing charge (APC), ranging from INR 500 to US$5,000, in the five years to publish about 15,400 papers. More than half of these papers were published in just 13 journals. PLoS One and Current Science are the OA journals Indian researchers use most often. Most leading Indian journals are open access and they do not charge APC. Use of OA journals levying APC has increased over the four years from 242 journls and 2557 papers in 2010 to 328 journals and 3,634 papers in 2014. There has been an increase in the use of non-APC journals as well, but at a lower pace. About 27% of all Indian papers in OA journals are in ‘Clinical Medicine,’ and 11.7% in ‘Chemistry.’ Indian researchers have used nine mega journals to publish 3,100 papers. We estimate that India is potentially spending about US$2.4 million annually on APCs and suggest that it would be prudent for Indian authors to make their work freely available through interoperable repositories, a trend that is growing significantly in Latin America and China, especially when research is facing a funding crunch. We further suggest bringing all Indian OA journals on to a single platform similar to SciELO, and all repositories be harvested by CSIR-URDIP which is already managing the OA repositories of the laboratories of CSIR, DBT and DST. Such resource sharing will not only result in enhanced efficiency and reduced overall costs but also facilitate use of standard metadata among repositories. *Current Science* http://www.currentscience.ac.in/php/fcarticles.php http://www.currentscience.ac.in/php/forthcoming/18652.docx Postprint: http://eprints.iisc.ernet.in/54926/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
