1. Iowa-NASA Environmental Data Challenge Workshop
   
   This workshop explored the creation of new partnerships between environmental data producers/users in Iowa and NASA, by the merging of four key areas of geospatial technology i.e. data collection, storage, modeling and visualization.
   
    

2. Satellite Remote Sensing to GIS: NASA Data Integration Workshop Follow-on #2
   
   This workshop assisted GIS users a simple, hands-on introduction to downloading freely available remote sensing data, loading it into a GIS, and performing simple enhancements and interpretations. Target users were natural resource, land management and environmental mangers.

Three workshops were conducted in the summer of 2003. Studies in Weather Analysis and Forecasting for Science Educators included a GIS/remote sensing component providing an general introduction to GIS as well as the use of GIS in meteorological data analysis.

1. Color Infrared (CIR) Image Interpretation was held to address the widespread interest in Iowa's 2002 state-wide color infrared aerial photography. The workshop included basic principles of remote sensing and specific applications of the CIR data product.
   
    

2. Introduction to Internet based GIS using ArcIMS provided participants with general information about Internet-based GIS technologies and some hands-on time with a basic ArcIMS project.
