From our modest beginnings in Université de Lille with a small team made by 3 members to a group employing over 40 colleagues, GRASP EARTH stands as a solid private research organization in continuous evolution.
Graspers come from all over the globe. We are proud to form a rich multicultural coalition sharing the same language: science! In this regard, scientific research in atmosphere and surface is vast, bringing over 20 new scientific papers every year.
Since GRASP and AirPhoton merged, we have presence in 3 countries currently: France (Lille), Spain (Valladolid) and USA (Baltimore). This permits to improve our operations and also bring new talents from each continent every year.
Our team of enthusiasts include internationally recognized scientists who met at NASA in the 90s. For more than 25 years of cooperation we have authored over 70 publications in the field and accumulated since an amazing depth and breadth of experience in aerosol monitoring.
In this regard, our team also accounts with a remarkable amount of citations on GRASP code, which today goes up to 80,000 thanks to our open source community made by more than 1500 users that continuously contribute to scientific research.
The deep expertise of Graspers continuously contribute to international projects, covering different fields such as remote sensing from space and ground, data processing, modeling, as well as designing and manufacturing instrumentation for space and ground observations.
