Hyperspectral imaging and remote sensing expert
Cristina Morea Dalle Ore (born 1958)[1] is a hyperspectral imaging and remote sensing expert, originally from Italy. After many years as an astronomer and planetary scientist, she has shifted her interests to Earth-based agricultural applications of remote sensing,[2] as Head of Remote Science and Geospatial Intelligence for Bayer Crop Science.[3] Her work in astronomy studied the chemical composition of objects in the far reaches of the Solar System, with a special focus on tholins,[4] and included the discovery of ammonia on Pluto, suggesting the possibility of liquid water there as well.[5]
