Dr. Joel McCorkel, a recently selected member of the Landsat Science Team, will give the Landsat presentations the first week. Presentations titled “Landsat: 40 Years of Watching the Earth’s Surface Change” will be shown each day focusing successively on water, forests, food, urban growth, and glaciers & ice. NASA’s Dr. Jack Kaye is scheduled to discuss Landsat at the U.S. Center Friday, Dec. 7 at 11:00 a.m.
