Trees Around the GLOBE Webinar 74 on October 15, 2024

The State of Trees - October 2024. Welcome to Year 7: An Overview of the Essential NASA Missions and Looking Towards the Present…….Data and what it can tell us! Join us as we begin Year 7 of the campaign.
During this webinar, the campaign team discussed the essential NASA missions (ICESat-2, GEDI, NISAR, and the Landsat series of satellites) that align to this campaign. We discussed what they “see” and what they can help you see, using either single spectral and/or multi-spectral bands. Following the satellites discussion, we began our trip into the last 30 years of the GLOBE Program data, aligning to the upcoming 2025 GLOBE IVSS. We started from the “Present,” and showcased an example of data collection and observations at the Palmyra Cove Nature Center in Palmyra Cove, New Jersey, USA. We will use this example in future webinars when we discuss the past and future data, and how to use these data to determine the land cover change of an area.
