Picture Post - Setting Sail at MLTI 2009

Link to Picture Post Presentation

Digital Earth Watch (DEW) is an informal science program to promote environmental monitoring by students and citizens through remote sensing and digital photography. DEW provides online resources to help participants understand and use NASA satellite imagery, tie it to environmental changes that are occurring at global and regional scales and connect those changes to changes in their own neighborhood. DEW is piloting a Picture Post network with a small group of teachers, nature centers and citizen monitoring groups for taking and sharing digital photographs and contributing to national environmental monitoring. Programs like Project Budburst and the Project Citizen Science have similar goals of environmental monitoring and citizen involvement, and will partner with DEW in the field test of the Picture Post Project.
