Monday, October 14, 2024

Tune in to the first webinar of Earth Science Week to explore how two NASA programs harness Earth observation data to promote global sustainability. Discover the power of satellite and ground systems in monitoring environmental and climate changes, and see how these technologies aid in wildlife conservation in South America, Africa, and Asia, as well as in tracking global mangrove health. Additionally, learn how K-12 educators can engage their students with Earth data through a five-day pacing guide focused on microplastics, including hands-on activities and the use of GLOBE protocols. This session will highlight the intersection of advanced Earth science technology and educational practices to foster a deeper understanding of our planet.
