Education: It Takes a Team
Scientific endeavors would not be possible without teamwork. Many research projects, even the most specific, involve groups of people working together from many disciplines and even in different countries. Being able to effectively work together across time zones, language barriers, and areas of research are the trademarks of true collaboration.
Dr. Eric Lindstrom makes the case that oceanography is inherently an international endeavor and that satellite operations are no different in this introduction to the fleet of earth observing satellites currently orbiting our planet.
An introduction to the Argo float program, a worldwide network of profiling floats taking measurements in the world's oceans.
Drs. David Le Vine and Gary Lagerloef explain how remote sensing has evolved throughout the past few decades, focusing specifically on ocean salinity research in the 2000s.
In this clip, Dr. Eric Lindstrom walks us through the inner workings of the Aquarius/SAC-D satellite, whose current mission is to measure global ocean salinity from space.
