SAR Presentation (ppt)
Vaccess 2001 Meeting (ppt)
Second Workshop for Earth Science Satellite Remote Sensing
October 15 - 22, 2002
George Mason University
Fairfax CampusThis second workshop is designed to give attendees with limited remote sensing background a thorough introduction to current and future NASA, NOAA and other Earth science remote sensing data retrieving, processing, analysis and applications. This workshop is not only focused on the retrieval, analysis and application of geophysical parameters derived from remotely sensed data for the Earth system science research, but also will cover how to search, order datasets from NASA EOS Data Gateway (EDG) and Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) and to process, analyze these datasets for one’s own projects. It covers Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), and Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) data. The National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) and NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) will also be discussed in the workshop. Emphasis will be placed on the recently launched Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). Some key MODIS science team members will be invited to give seminars. Guest speakers from NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), EROS Data Center, and George Mason University (GMU) will also cover the MODIS directly broadcast system, MODIS data subsetting, subsampling, MODIS Reprojection Tool (MRT), Hierarchial Data Format for Earth Observing System (HDF-EOS), HDF-EOS Data Format Converter and other EOSDIS Tools, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Web-GIS, and Data Mining.
Personnel from NASA/GSFC, NOAA/NESDIS, EROS Data Center, University of Maryland (UMD) and the Center for Earth Observing and Space Research (CEOSR) at the School of Computational Sciences (SCS), GMU, will participate in the teaching. Certificates will be awarded for international, NASA/GSFC Remote Sensing Information Partner (RSIP), VAccess-MAGIC, and USDA/Forest Service attendees.
