Javier Marcello Ruiz is an Associate Professor at the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), affiliated with the Department of Signal and Communications and the Institute of Oceanography and Global Change (IOCAG). He holds an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) and a Ph.D. from ULPGC. His research focuses on remote sensing image processing, satellite communications, and climate change analysis, leveraging data from multiple sensors and satellites. He has authored over 35 articles in high-impact journals and served as an Associate Editor for IEEE-JSTARS and MDPI-Remote Sensing. Research Interests: Remote sensing pre-processing (radiometric, geometric, and atmospheric corrections), image segmentation, feature extraction, classification, satellite sensor analysis (AVHRR, MODIS, Landsat, etc.), and coastal/land product generation. His work addresses climate change impacts on marine and coastal environments. Publications: Recent works include studies on seagrass mapping using satellite imagery and super-resolution techniques for Sentinel-2 data. Earlier contributions focused on oceanographic thermal tracking and multi-sensor fusion. Over 100 conference presentations highlight his active engagement in international research. Affiliations: Associate Editor of IEEE-JSTARS and MDPI-Remote Sensing journals; reviewer for 35+ publications. Led numerous research projects and contracts. Active in the Canary Space Center (INTA) from 1992–2000 as Head Engineer.
