Selection Criterion

The Carl Pulfrich Award Council will consider nominees on the basis of experience/activities in the field of photogrammetry and remote sensing, and contributions to the advancement of all aspects of the earth imaging field. Applied work involving hardware systems, software solutions, or innovative service activities will be considered as well.

Criteria for selection of the Carl Pulfrich Award shall not be based upon publications and theoretical research alone but shall also reward the practical implementation of ideas. Selection of the Carl Pulfrich Award of candidates who have already been honored in a similar way or have received an award elsewhere is to be avoided. The candidate, who in the opinion of the majority of the award council has the highest overall ranking, is designated the winner.

• A one- to three-page statement that justifies the nomination of the Carl Pulfrich Award candidate
• A curriculum vitae that includes the candidate’s date of birth, significant work experience, academic degrees, copies of papers, research reports, or other items produced by the candidate that may support the candidate’s capabilities in this field
• One or more independent letters of recommendation from fellow practitioners having knowledge of the candidate’s capabilities (demonstrated or potential) as a technical leader in this field.
