Exploring NASA's open data universe

Episode 14 | Season One

Elevate your analysis with earth observations

Earth observations are a veritable treasure trove for ArcGIS users - so dig into the data gold mine with Wayne, Rylea and Senior GIS Administrator for NASA's Disaster Program, Jeremy Kirkendall. You'll learn how to tap into a free stream of near real-time, observational data on thermal hotspots, bushfires, cyclones, flooding, landslides and more. Jeremy also lifts the curtain on what it's like to work at NASA and shares insight into how GIS supports space activities - from rocket launches to astronaut food delivery.
