Salah Er-Raki is a Full Professor of Applied Physics at the Faculty of Sciences and Techniques, Cadi Ayyad University. He received his PhD in “crop water requirements estimates through combining the modeling, in situ measurements and remote sensing” in 2007 from Cadi Ayyad University. His main research interests include the application of multispectral remote sensing observations (optical, radar and thermal data) in land–surface–atmosphere models for the high spatio-temporal resolution monitoring of crops' water needs, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Salah Er-Raki also contributed to developing a software named SAMIR (satellite monitoring of irrigation), which is based on his thesis work. He has also participated in several international experiments (e.g., Yaqui 2006–2008 in Mexico), and he was a co-leader of the joint international laboratory "Télédétection et Ressources en Eau en Méditerranée semi-Aride", LMI-TREMA (www.lmi-trema.ma). Salah Er-Raki has published more than 160 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, which have been cited more than 5000 times and secured him an H-index of 38. He has supervised and co-supervised several PhD students and he coordinates several research projects (e.g., PHC Maghreb, PRIMA, H2020 RISE action).
