SUMMARY:Seminar on Integration of Vantage Points\, Programs\, and Approaches for Space-Based Earth Remote Sensing
DESCRIPTION:Integration of Vantage Points\, Programs\, and Approaches for Space-Based Earth Remote Sensing \nDownload Seminar Flyer \nDate/Time: November 21\, 2024 at 12:30pm \nLocation: Steinman Exhibit Room ST-124 \nVirtual Link: ZOOM \n Presenter:  Jack A. Kaye\, \nBio:  Jack is the Associate Director for Research of Earth Science Division at NASA HQ Science Mission Directorate \nAbstract: \nThe vantage point of space provides a way to look at the Earth globally\, with the ability to observe Earth’s interacting components (air\, water\, land\, ice) and both naturally-occurring and human-induced processes.  It lets us look at variability on a broad range of spatial and temporal scales\, and\, given the decades of accomplishment\, has allowed us to characterize and document Earth System variability on time scales from minutes to decades.  The size and complexity of the Earth mean that no one nation\, program\, vantage point\, or observing technique can make all the needed observations to understand Earth’s recent evolution and provide needed information to support prediction about its future evolution. Integration across vantage points (space\, airborne\, surface) is important given their complementary nature (as well as supporting calibration and validation activities for current and future missions)\, as is that across programs (national\, government/commercial)\, and approaches (e.g.\, active\, passive).  In this talk\, a review of how NASA’s Earth Science Division integrates across vantage points\, observing programs\, and observing approaches will be presented\, with recent examples provided.

SUMMARY:Seminar on Air Quality Modeling & Role of Clouds in Atmospheric Composition
DESCRIPTION:Seminar on Air Quality Modeling and Forecasting & Role Clouds play in Affecting Atmospheric Composition \nDownload Flyer \nDate: April 1\, 2025 from 3pm – 5pm \nPresenter(s):  Rajesh Kumar\,  Deputy Director\, Research Application Lab\, NSF NCAR and  Mary Barth \, Senior Scientist\, NSF NCAR \nZoom: https://ccny.zoom.us/j/84211573613?pwd=oKXF3GDMatUta9weRD3zTkKXLRjWqH.1 \nAbstracts: \nAir Quality Modeling and Forecasting \nAir quality science emerged out of the societal need to mitigate health effects of deadly smog events that occurred in North America and\nEurope around the middle of 20th century. In the past 70 years\, atmospheric chemistry has advanced so much that we are now capable of\npredicting air quality in both the short-term (1-3 days) and long-term (climate time scales) and assessing the implications of air pollution for\npublic health and food security. Dr. Kumar will provide a very high-level historical overview of air quality research followed by fundamentals of\nair quality modeling\, development of an air quality forecasting system for New Delhi\, and conclude with the future of atmospheric\nchemistry modeling at NSF NCAR \nRole Clouds play in Affecting Atmospheric Composition \nThe Earth’s atmosphere is composed of gases and aerosol particles that affect air quality\, atmospheric radiation\, and cloud properties\, impacting climate and weather. Clouds\, which cover ~60% of the globe at any given time\, affect the concentrations of trace gases and aerosols within the atmosphere in many ways\, including vertical transport to higher altitudes\, removal via precipitation\, and cloud chemistry. This talk will review our current understanding of how clouds affect trace gas and aerosol concentrations using data collected in and near thunderstorms during two aircraft field campaigns. The presentation illustrates the value of combining atmospheric chemistry models with observations to advance our understanding of the atmosphere \n

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Mapping Cumulative Impacts of Essential Fish Habitat Consultations in the Pacific Islands Region
DESCRIPTION:Title: Mapping Cumulative Impacts of Essential Fish Habitat Consultations in the Pacific Islands Region\n \nPresenter(s):  Amy Carrillo \nDate: 11 August 2025\, 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm ET\n \nRemote Access: Google Meet joining info \nVideo call link: https://meet.google.com/prg-psrb-moa \nAbout Speaker:  Amy Carrillo \nAbstract: The cumulative impacts of federally funded projects\, reviewed by the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) team\, on EFH in the Pacific Islands region were visualized and evaluated. Using data from the Environmental Consultation Organizer (ECO)\, covering projects from 2017 to the present\, interactive dashboards and a story map were created to visualize the spatial distribution and intensity of these projects across the region. Three tools were created\, first a dashboard that displays all the EFH consultations as points covering the Pacific Island region to allow for visualization of project locations. Second\, on Oahu\, where each consultation action area is mapped as polygons\, scored for adverse impacts on EFH\, and supplemented with detailed information on the type of activity\, impact level\, and other relevant data. Finally\, on Honolulu Harbor\, presenting a story map of one of Oahu’s most heavily impacted and managed areas\, which also hosts a large coral nursery. By processing over 500 project records and creating these tools\, the project provides a comprehensive overview of the scale and impact of federal activities on EFH. The dashboards and story maps are designed to support decision-making by offering accessible tools for conservation efforts and the EFH team’s effective coastal resource management.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Marine Heatwaves in the Tropical Atlantic: Detection\, Characteristics\, and Trends in a Warming Ocean.
DESCRIPTION:Title: Marine Heatwaves in the Tropical Atlantic: Detection\, Characteristics\, and Trends in a Warming Ocean.\n \nDate:  August 20\, 2025\, 10:00 am – 11:00 am ET\n \nPresenter(s): Keneshia Hibbert\, CESSRST-II Graduate Fellow\n\nRemote Access: : https://meet.google.com/jyf-ojbj-wzn\n\nAbstract: Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged periods of anomalously warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs) that can have profound ecological and climatic consequences. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of MHW characteristics across the tropical Atlantic Ocean from 1982to 2024\, employing a consistent methodology based on the framework established by Hobday et al. (2016). Daily SST data were analyzed against a seasonally varying climatological 90th percentile threshold to detect MHW events and quantify key metrics\, including event frequency\, duration\, and spatial extent. Our domain-level approach identifies and tracks contiguous periods of elevated SSTs across the entire basin\, applying strict temporal criteria to ensure scientific robustness. Results reveal distinct seasonal and interannual variability in MHW occurrence\, with several multi-week events observed during the boreal summer and fall months. The spatial extent of MHWs was found to fluctuate considerably over time\, occasionally covering large portions of the tropical Atlantic Basin. These findings provide a critical foundation for understanding the temporal evolution and physical characteristics of marine heatwaves in a region of high climate sensitivity. This work lays the groundwork for future efforts to investigate the role of large-scale climate modes and anthropogenic warming in shaping the dynamics of MHW in the tropical Atlantic.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Spatial Resolution Impacts on Remotely Sensed Product Uncertainty and Representativeness
DESCRIPTION:Title: Spatial Resolution Impacts on Remotely Sensed Product Uncertainty and Representativeness \nPresenter(s): Biajani Gonzalez\, CESSRST II Graduate Fellow  \nGoogle Meet :  https://meet.google.com/ugm-keyg-pgr\n\nAbstract: Satellite remote sensing\, while providing broad geographic coverage\, faces limitations in spatial resolution for detailed benthic mapping\, particularly in coastal regions such as Puerto Rico. Small unmanned aerial systems (UAS) offer a promising solution due to their ability to capture high-resolution imagery with flexibility. This study examines the impact of spatial resolution and classifier training strategies on the accuracy and consistency of benthic habitat classifications derived from drone-based imagery. It determines the optimal airborne sampling parameters ” balancing effective spatial resolution and flight parameters ” when using UAS for marine habitat mapping. Using high-resolution RGB orthomosaics (0.036 m/pixel) collected via UAS and upscaled to coarser resolutions (0.5 m to 10 m)\, we assessed the classification performance of coral\, sand\, seagrass\, and substrate using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers under four case-study scenarios. Spatial metrics (total area\, patch count) and accuracy assessment indicators (self-transition and Critical Success Index) were applied to quantify classification degradation across scales and scenes. Results show fine-scale features\, especially coral and seagrass\, rapidly degrade beyond 1 meter\, while more homogeneous classes\, such as sand and substrate\, remain relatively stable.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Quantifying the accuracy of satellite-observed sea surface salinity against in situ observations by saildrones
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\n\n\nTitle: Quantifying the accuracy of satellite-observed sea surface salinity against in situ observations by saildrones \nPresenter(s): Andrew Dixon\, CESSRST II Graduate Fellow  \nGoogle Meet : https://meet.google.com/rxj-wgmk-day \nOr dial: ‪(US) +1 318-367-3080 PIN: ‪865 081 511# \n\nAbstract:  \nSea surface salinity (SSS) regulates upper-ocean stratification\, influencing vertical mixing and the heat exchange critical to the development of tropical cyclones. Satellite salinity observations from NASA’s SMAP observatory offer global coverage and have been validated for general conditions in certain areas\, but benefit from validation under storm conditions. This study uses NOAA Saildrones (uncrewed surface vehicles)\, capable of targeting specific storms and collecting near-continuous data\, to compare in situ SSS with two SMAP products. Results show strong agreement with the 8-day averaged dataset and moderate but positive agreement with the near-real-time product. Collocations during storm encounters indicate that SMAP could be useful in tropical cyclone forecasting. By validating satellite data with uncrewed systems\, this work advances NOAA’s mission of enabling a weather-ready nation through expanded hurricane predictions and fostering collaborations for future satellite data validation projects. \nThe results are from the NOAA EPP/MSI CSCNERTO graduate internship project that was conducted with NOAA mentor\, Dr. Chidong Zhang of NOAA Research’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. The NERTO aligns with NOAA CSC CESSRST-II’s goal of conducting NOAA mission-aligned collaborative research to understand and predict changes in climate\, weather\, oceans\, and coasts. The NERTO “Quantifying the accuracy of satellite observed sea surface salinity against in situ observations by Saildrones” also deepened the intern’s understanding of NOAA’s databases and development steps toward further use of uncrewed systems. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
