- End Date:
- May 28, 2020
- Description:
- With the world’s eyes and media coverage turned to recent global changes in air pollution from the economic downturn, we have an upcoming two-part webinar series (May 26 and 28) that will focus on which air quality pollutants can be measured from space, how satellites make these measurements, the do’s and don’ts in interpreting satellite data, and how to download and create your own visualizations. Course Format: Two online, 1.5-hour parts
- Targeted Audience:
- Members of the public, journalists, meteorologists, and others new to remote sensing.
- Expected Outcomes:
