Subject: virtual workshop hosted by NIMBioS: NASA land processes data



Dear Liem and Hannah,

Could you please help me spread the word to Geography undergraduate and graduate students about a NIMBioS virtual workshop I'm hosting next week? I attached the announcement pdf and provided a brief overview below. Please feel free to forward this message outside Department of Geography community.

Thank you very much,

Mona

NIMBioS is hosting a virtual workshop (free) offered by staff from NASA Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC). The workshop will take place on 28 April and is intended for people interested in using remote sensing data in their work. The workshop announcement is attached. The workshop is divided into a morning session and an afternoon session. 

The morning session will cover general (basic) topics: an overview of NASA data collections that are most commonly used in earth science and environmental studies (e.g., MODIS, Landsat), as well as new collections (e.g., NOAA-20 JPSS-1); and simple guidelines on how to find data and download data using AppEEARS, an application developed by LP DAAC to facilitate access to NASA data.

The afternoon session will cover more advanced topics: Python scripts developed by LP DAAC to help with processing large data collections; and cloud computing (AWS) implemented for a subset of the LPDAAC data collections.

Please use this google form to register for the workshop: https://forms.gle/FZMiVL3BLJhQ4CW98

Registration deadline is 25 April.
