Good morning, afternoon, and evening,
You are invited to the NASA Earthdata webinar, âAccessing Data for the World's Water
with SWOT" to be held on Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 2 pm EDT (UTC-4).
Webinar POC: Jennifer
Brennan, Host, NASA ESDIS Communications Lead, Goddard Space Flight Center
Email: Jennifer.L.Brennan@nasa.gov
Description:
Launched in December 2022, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides an unprecedented look at Earth's water. A joint undertaking by NASA and CNES (Centre National D'Etudes Spatiales) with contributions from CSA (the Canadian Space Agency)
and the United Kingdom Space Agency, SWOT measurements for surface water extent and water body elevation for rivers, lakes, and the ocean are now publicly available for scientific research and applications.
This webinar will introduce SWOT and show data users how to discover, access, and utilize
SWOT data products via cloud computing and local download as well as through data transformation tools like the High-level Tool for Interactive Data Extraction (HiTIDE). The webinar will showcase data recipes and tutorials from NASA's Physical Oceanography
Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) Cookbook to help you get started.
Join us to learn how SWOT data could augment your existing data workflows or lead to
new, innovative science and applications in the world of water.
Speakers:
Dr. Cassandra Nickles, Applied Science Systems Engineer, NASA PO.DAAC, JPL
Cassandra (âCassieâ) Nickles is an Applied Science Systems Engineer at NASAâs Physical
Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC). Her work involves connecting NASA data to science and applications communities by creating data recipes and tutorials (e.g. Jupyter Notebooks, etc) and curating data learning resources. Cassie received
her PhD in Civil Engineering from Northeastern University in May 2021 having performed research surrounding large-scale river networks and applications enabled by the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. Her overarching passion is to serve society
through remote sensing and hydrologic applications, facilitating access to data for a diverse set of research and applied data users.
Celia Ou, Data Publication and Applied Science Systems Engineer, NASA PO.DAAC
Celia Ou is a Data Publication Engineer and Applied Science Systems Engineer at NASA's
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). She holds an MS in Physical Oceanography from University of California, San Diego. At PO.DAAC, Celia works on dataset publication from various projects including Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT), as well as creating
tutorials for the NASA data user community. Her goals include connecting science data users to helpful resources, reducing data wrangling, and improving the data user experience in support of more accessible and open science.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions.
