I am a biologist and I hold a PhD in Biological Sciences and an MSc in Remote Sensing and GIS applications. I work as an assistant researcher for CONICET at the Mario Gulich Institute of the Argentinian Space Agency (CONAE) in Córdoba, Argentina. My research is focused on uncovering environmental drivers of vector-borne disease outbreaks. I am mostly interested in those environmental features that can be derived by means of satellite image analysis, remote sensing time series and GIS-based techniques.
I am a strong advocate for OSGeo and free and open source software for geo-spatial (FOSS4G). Moreover, I am part of the GRASS GIS Development team and have recently become the new project chair. I have also volunteered as a mentor for GRASS GIS in the Google Code-In contest introducing high school students into the Open Source world.

In this tutorial, I’ll exemplify different uses of the freshly created i.landsat toolset and its integration with other GRASS GIS core modules and add-ons for a full workflow to process Landsat data. First of all, to be able to connect to EarthExplorer you’ll need a user name and password. If you are not yet registered, please see the register page for signing up.

Eight years ago, while doing an MSc in Remote Sensing and GIS Applications at the Argentinean Space Agency - CONAE, I was looking for places where to do a 6-months internship in Italy. I wanted to go completely FOSS and I had heard about GRASS GIS, but hadn’t made the time to learn it until then. That was when I recalled a former colleague from university mentioning the keywords GRASS and Markus Neteler.
