Andrew Fleming

Biography

Andrew Fleming is the remote sensing manager for the British Antarctic Survey where he leads the application of remote sensing methods to science and operations projects. He has been Manager of Polar View activities in the Antarctic since 2004, which develops and delivers near-real-time sea ice information to users operating in both polar regions.

He also plays a key role in the related Copernicus Marine Service, ICEMAR, Polar Ice FP7, ESA ArcticSat, H2020 EU-PolarNet and leads the ESA Polar Thematic Exploitation Platform projects.

He also has active interests in developing the application of hyperspectral imaging and UAVs to polar science research and operations. He is Chair of the NERC EO Data Acquisition and Analysis Service Steering Committee and a Member of the U.S. Polar Geospatial Centre Science Operations Committee.
