NASA ARSET Training: Using NASA Remote Sensing for Disaster Management

06/09/2016 to 06/30/2016
Times: 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 6:00-7:00 p.m. EDT (UTC-4)

NASA remote sensing and modeling resources are useful for managing a variety of disasters – including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, landslides, wildfires, and oil spills – particularly in regions with very little in situ data. This introductory webinar will provide an overview of NASA remote sensing data and applications for disaster management.

Remote Sensing for Disaster Management

Course Format

  • Four, 1 hour sessions, each held twice a day to allow for national and international participation in different time zones:
    • Session A: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EDT (UTC-4)
