Camp Landsat provides many activities for kids and adults to enjoy and understand Landsat satellite data at home and on the go this summer. Landsat data have allowed scientists to study and monitor the U.S. since 1972, supporting biodiversity, recreation, and human health and wellness. Explore curated content and learn how Landsat data are used to monitor, manage, and protect landscapes and people.
Spatial Signals is a podcast about remote sensing, GIS, and geospatial technologies – but more importantly it’s a podcast about the people who use and apply them. This podcast is sponsored by AmericaView, the national remote sensing network dedicated to empowering Earth Observation. Your hosts are Dr. Bradley Shellito from Youngstown State University and Mr. Chris McGinty, the Executive Director of AmericaView. New episodes every Monday morning.
In June, IowaView State Coordinator Amy Logan had the opportunity to attend the 2025 OpenStreetMap State of the Map US Conference in Boston, Massachusetts.
After that last post, you might be interested in finding more resources about the cryosphere, here are several helpful resources: My NASA data has a series specifically focused on the cryosphere:https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/basic-page/about-cryosphereMini-Lessons: https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/all-cryosphere-maps-and-dataLesson Plans: https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/all-cryosphere-lesson-plans NASA Earth Observatory for Kids Lessons (very fun, hands-on, and engaging for the younger crowd): Glaciers: Ice on the Move: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/eokids/glaciers-ice-on-the-move/Water,
Annually, the United Nations celebrates March 22nd as World Water Day. World Water Day celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water. The day is about taking action to tackle the global water crisis, and remembering what a vital role water plays for all of humanity. This
In today’s lesson, we are examining water use and water quality. Satellite imagery helps scientists to better understand the changes in the environment. Examine the images below of the Aral Sea; the left image is from April 10, 1986, and the right image is from June 5, 2024. The water loss between the two images
As we continue moving through the series of lessons of the 2024 Earth Observation Day poster, “Earth Science Everywhere.” Today we will examine the disaster management lesson, “Exploring Disaster Management: Learning about natural hazards to prepare and prevent natural disasters”. This lesson seeks to engage students in learning about natural hazards in the environment. To
Today we are going to explore the forestry lesson, “Exploring Amazonian Deforestation,” which seeks to engage students in an examination of how human activities modify the natural environment.
