2008 Annual Report - NASA Airborne Science Program

in Panama City in July and August, with 25
participants in each session. A study site and
workshop were also developed for the Trinity
River Delta in Texas near Johnson Space
Center. Two workshops were conducted in
November 2007 and May 2008, involving a
total of 35 local teachers and students from
Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches,
TX.
This past year, results from the Fort Clatsop,
OR workshop were presented at the
American Society of Photogrammetry and
Remote Sensing annual conference in Portland,
OR. In addition, the Weweantic River,
MA workshop results were presented at the
Association of American Geographers annual
conference in Boston.
Both the Science Mission Directorate at
NASA HQ and the field centers continue
to maintain supporting web sites which are
regularly updated with airborne mission
and aircraft news. In 2008, the program
also instituted a quarterly airborne science
newsletter to keep our community updated
on the latest program developments and
activities.
In FY09, the Airborne Science Program is
planning several outreach-related activities
in conjunction with the 33rd International
Symposium on Remote Sensing of
Environment (ISRSE), to be held in Stresa,
Italy.
