Introduction to Earth Observations from Space with a Focus on Air Quality
The NASA Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) at Langley Research Center, in collaboration with Earth Science Data Systems (ESDS), is proud to present at the ODU Pneuhaus Festival an exciting and interactive introduction to Earth observation from space. This event will focus on how NASA's satellite missions are revolutionizing our understanding of air quality and its effects on human health and the environment.
Featuring:
Dr. Hazeem Mahmoud, the DAAC Scientist at the Atmospheric Science Data Center
Elizabeth Joyner, Community Coordinator for the Earth Science Data Systems.
Event Highlights:
- Earth Observation from Space: Learn how NASA satellites, such as the TEMPO mission, is used to monitor air quality. Discover how these powerful tools provide real-time data on atmospheric pollutants such as ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter.
- Air Quality Monitoring: Explore how NASA’s Earth-observing instruments measure and track air quality, helping scientists and policymakers make informed decisions about public health and environmental management.
- NASA Earth Science Tools & Services: Gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools like the Worldview interactive data visualization tool that allows you to explore satellite data, a user-friendly platform for discovering and downloading Earth science data. These tools enable the public, researchers, and students to visualize and analyze satellite data with ease. Also, Earthdata Forum which is one of the most used platforms for communication with NASA subject matter experts for more understanding of NASA Earth Missions.
Whether you're a student, a researcher, or simply curious about how we observe our planet from space, this event offers a unique opportunity to see Earth in a whole new way. Join us for a fascinating look at how NASA's satellite data contributes to solving some of the most pressing air quality challenges facing our world today.
