An introduction to SaSa (The Student Airborne Science Activation Program, or “now” in Kiswahili) was published last week on nasa.gov, in an article that highlights the continued lack of diversity in geoscience. SaSa is a new NASA program that will work to diversify…
Remote sensing is a powerful tool — it can be used to map the topography of the ocean floor, track the ash plume of an erupting volcano, or understand drought patterns on tribal lands. As the technology becomes easier for…
Dr. Juan Torres-Perez is a coral reef biologist working for BAERI at NASA Ames Research Center. Originally from Puerto Rico, he works at the intersection of coral reef biology, remote sensing, education, and citizen science. “I have five proposals out…
As complex as they are, climate models do an impressively good job at modeling the Earth’s past, present, and future climate. The first climate model was developed over 50 years ago. Since then, modeling accuracy has significantly improved, thanks to the work of scientists…
