Chair
IEEE GRSS · AESS Joint Chapter · Sup'Com
Earth, aerospace, run by students.
One student chapter carrying two IEEE societies. Training on the software, talks on the science, and projects that use both. Anyone at Sup'Com can join.
About us
Where two societies meet
We are the IEEE Sup'Com GRSS-AESS Joint Chapter: the second GRSS chapter in Tunisia and the fourth in Africa, now one board with AESS.
Geoscience and Remote Sensing reads the Earth from satellites and aircraft; Aerospace and Electronic Systems builds the radar, navigation and spacecraft that carry the instruments. We run training, talks and projects on both, open to every Sup'Com student, no background needed.
What we cover
The Earth, seen from above
One side reads the planet: land, sea and weather in satellite and airborne imagery. The other builds what flies: the spacecraft, radar and navigation that carry the instruments and bring the data home.

What we run
Workshops, talks and a symposium
Newest first, by academic year. Where an event has an official IEEE listing, its title links to it.
Workshop · Latest
CubeSat workshop #1
The year's first workshop: how the small satellites behind much of Earth observation are built, and what they can and cannot do. Picked because so many students at Clubs Day asked about the TSYP13 challenge, whose prototype is a CubeSat.
Open day
Clubs Day at Sup'Com
A space-themed stand with a photo corner, where the board met new students, explained what the chapter does and handed out the year's first posters.
Workshop · Part 2
Supernova detection using AI, part 2
Deeper into the machine-learning side: the key algorithms, the theory under them, and how they are used to read astrophysical data.
Workshop · Part 1
Supernova detection using AI, part 1
The brightest explosions in the universe, and the models that pick them out of survey data.
Talk
AstroTalk #2
Three talks: the growing risk of space debris and how satellites are protected from it, the dark matter holding the universe together, and the Wow! signal, still one of the strangest things ever picked up from space.
Workshop
Game development #2
A second run of the workshop, same room, more people.
Talk
AstroTalk #1
The series opened with three talks: the multiverse theory, the cosmic microwave background left over from the Big Bang, and what the Hubble Space Telescope has given astronomy.
Workshop
Game development #1
An afternoon going from an empty Unreal project to something you could walk around in.
Symposium
M2GARSS 2020, Tunis
We helped run the first Mediterranean and Middle East Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium — and the first regional GARSS held anywhere.
Tutorial
Machine learning for remotely sensed big data
A tutorial by Prof. Ashish Ghosh of the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.
Training series · Seven sessions
Geographic information systems
Seven sessions on open data, each ending with something the attendees had made. Two were never written down by name, so five are listed.
- 01Hurricane evacuation routes, Houston
- 02Crime patterns, Lincoln Police Department
- 03Presenting information with 3D scenes
- 04A real-time dashboard on live feeds
- 05A story map of a Guatemalan volcano expedition
