NASA's ARSET New Sensor Highlight: ECOSTRESS¶
Join us for ARSET’s first lightning-style training, designed to support the high demand and interest from the applications community in new NASA Earth observing technologies that can be used to support resource management. This webinar will focus on a NASA instrument that was launched and installed on the International Space Station in Summer 2018. Designed to study terrestrial ecosystems and plant water stress from the ISS, ECOSTRESS can also be used to better understand crop health, volcanoes, urban heat, wildland fires, coastal systems, and much more.

NASA's ARSET Hyperspectral Data for Land and Coastal Systems¶
Hyperspectral data presents a unique opportunity to characterize specific vegetation types and biogeochemical processes across the land and oceans. Applications of hyperspectral data include plant species identification, invasive species management, assessment of phytoplankton functional types, mapping of wetlands and shallow benthic communities, and detection of harmful algal blooms (HABs). The ability of hyperspectral data to characterize chemical, physiological, and morphological traits allows decision-makers to better understand critical components of ecosystem dynamics such as invasive species encroachment, forest decline and pest infestation, and ocean dynamics. This training is also an opportunity to build capacity in a large user community prior to the launch of the highly anticipated global hyperspectral SBG mission.

Efficient Geospatial Data Access with NASA’s AppEEARS¶
NASA's Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS) is a powerful web application and application programming interface (API) that provides intuitive access to more than 100 geospatial datasets from multiple federal agencies, including datasets at several NASA Distributed Active Archives Centers (DAACs). This webinar showcases AppEEARS and its capabilities and highlights AppEEARS resources to help simplify data access workflows using the system.

NASA's ARSET Satellite Data for Air Quality Environmental Justice and Equity Applications¶
In this training, the NASA Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) program in collaboration with the Health and Air Quality Science Team (HAQAST) Tiger Team on Satellite Data for Environmental Justice, will demonstrate how remotely-sensed environmental indicators, specifically for air pollution, can be paired with demographic data to understand disproportionate exposures among minoritized and marginalized population subgroups. This training will consist of three two-hour sessions and be held online. The first session will provide an introduction to how satellite data have been used in environmental justice (EJ) applications. The second session will focus on satellite remote sensing of air quality, emphasizing aspects of environmental justice related to air pollution exposure. Finally, the third session will have interactive exercises combining satellite and demographic data with EJSCREEN and Python. The primary focus of this training is on environmental justice issues in the United States, with some additional examples from around the world.
