DATE:  Thursday, April 10, 2014

Earth: More than a Pretty Picture:  How Landsat images Are Made 

Overview:

The extensive archive of Landsat data makes up the Earth's family photo album. Landsat satellites have been recording changes on Earth's lands consistently and reliably since 1972.  People can do marvelous things with Landsat data, such as quantify urban growth, glacier shrinkage and the extent of volcanic eruptions and floods; estimate crop yield; and document changes in one's own communities.  You too can learn to download and analyze Landsat data at no cost. This Museum Alliance session will provide participants with a basic understanding of how Landsat works, and will cover tutorials on how to download Landsat scenes and open them using different wavelengths of light, to serve specific purposes. Try it beforehand and bring your questions!

Speaker:

Jeannie Allen is a science and geography education specialist for Earth-observing satellite missions with Sigma Space Corp. based at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and working in New Mexico. She makes NASA's research discoveries and data accessible for public and classroom use through workshops and publications, particularly in partnership with other organizations.  Allen has a Master's degree in Biogeography and an interest in prehistoric agriculture and plant domestication.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

This Professional Development Conversation is intended to prepare you for your upcoming presentations and events.  It is NOT to be shared LIVE in classrooms, museums, or other venues, including social media.  Please do NOT share the telecon call-in information (phone number, passcode, etc.). 

TELECON ETIQUETTE - PLEASE READ:

1.  When the telecon begins, please mute your phone while the speaker is talking.

  *   If your phone doesn't have a "mute" button, press *6 (star six) to mute your phone.

  *   The *6 feature is a toggle; your phone may be unmuted for questions by pressing *6 again.

2.   For technical problems encountered during the training, press *0 (star zero) to signal the operator who can temporarily remove you from the telecon "room" to resolve the issue.

3.  If entering the telecon after the recording has begun, please enter SILENTLY and do not announce your name, as the recording will have begun already.

4.  DO NOT place your phone on "hold":  if music is played while a hold button is engaged, the music will be heard by telecon listeners and will be disruptive to the speaker, participants, and the transcription service."
