2008 Annual Report - NASA Airborne Science Program

WETMAAP materials are designed for use by
secondary education teachers, undergraduate
and graduates students, university and college
professors, informal educators, and local and
regional government officials.
The Airborne Science Program has supported
the WETMAAP program and selected workshops
since 1995. Support has consisted of
funding, ASP photography and digital imagery,
and NASA satellite imagery. Also members of
the Airborne Science Program staff have participated
in WETMAAP workshops as trainers
and guest lecturers.
Through use of the WETMAAP website
(www.wetmaap.org), educators can increase
their ability to promote student
awareness of, and interest in, wetland and
relevant ecological issues. The website is an
accessible source for satellite images, aerial
photography, topographic maps, workshop
outlines, and other Internet sources.
In 2008, the WETMAAP team conducted
field visits to Panama in February and Wallops
Space Flight Facility in May to develop
new study sites for future workshops. As
a result, two Panama WETMAAP workshops,
including field trips, were conducted
