Mario Hernandez |
|
Remote Sensing Unithttp://www.unesco.org |
Dr Mario Hernandez, Mexican, has a mathematical background. In 1976 he started working at the IBM Scientific Centre for Latin America located in Mexico City. His duties were the further development of an IBM software done for NASA to process satellite images. At that point of time IBM wanted to promote the use of such a software in Latin America promoting therefore remote sensing applications and as a consequence the use of computer resources. Mario then was moved by IBM to the Paris Scientific Centre to coordinate the development of remote sensing software integrated with Geographical Information system for a new hardware under development by IBM. He occupied various managerial posts at IBM. In 1990 was appointed seconded by IBM to assist the United Nations Environment Programme both in Geneva and Nairobi. In 1994 was appointed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to manage the Global Earth Resources Information Database (GRID). Since 2001 is with the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris heading a programme that has as objective to establish partnerships with Space Agencies, Space Research Institutions and Universities to make use of space technologies for the conservation of the prestigious World Heritage sites. Very fast it became evident that space technologies were not enough, that an integrated approach of space data, airborne data, photogrammetry and in-situ measurements was necessary in order to provide a real solution to the end user. Dr Mario Hernandez is currently the head of remote sensing at UNESCO. |
