Abstract: The William T. Pecora
Award is presented annually to
individuals or teams using satellite or
aerial remote sensing that make
outstanding contributions toward
understanding the Earth (land, oceans
and air), educating the next generation
of scientists, informing decision makers
or supporting natural or human-induced
disaster response. The award is
sponsored jointly by the Department of
the Interior (DOI) and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA).
The award was established in 1974 to
honor the memory of Dr. William T.
Pecora, former Director of the USGS and
Under Secretary, Department of the
Interior. Dr. Pecora was a motivating
force behind the establishment of a
program for civil remote sensing of the
Earth from space. His early vision and
support helped establish what we know
today as the Landsat satellite program.
The purpose of the award is to recognize
individuals or groups working in the
field of remote sensing of the earth.
National and international nominations
are accepted from the public and private
sector individuals, teams, organizations,
and professional societies.
Nomination packages include three
sections: (A) Cover Sheet, (B) Summary
Statement, and (C) Supplemental
Materials. The cover sheet includes
professional contact information. The
Summary Statement is limited to two
pages and describes the nominee’s
