Satellite imagery is a powerful tool for scientists that monitor the dynamic features upon Earth’s surface. With a vantage point from space, large swaths of landscape can be viewed in a single snapshot. Depending on the sensors used to capture the image, these scientific tools may also serve as beautiful works of art.

Come meet representatives from Johnson Space Center, Jet Propulsion Lab, and Ames Research Center. Explore possible collaborations in research and education.

The Geophysical Institute’s Alaska Satellite Facility will celebrate 20 years since the first downlink of images from an earth-observing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite by hosting an Open House. The public is invited to tour facilities used for the acquisition, storage, processing and distribution of data acquired from polar-orbiting satellites, and to learn why satellite-borne earth observation is critical for monitoring change.

The University of Alaska, Fairbanks Department of Geology and Geophysics has named Professor Anupma Prakash and Associate Professor Sarah Fowell co-chairs. Outside of the academic department, Fowell is also affiliated with the Alaska Quaternary Center. Prakash is affiliated with the Geophysical Institute’s Remote Sensing Group and the Alaska Satellite Facility.
