Abstract
Reports on a student-oriented presentation at the 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS 2019) in Yokohama, Japan. Dr. Gail Skofronick-Jackson shared NASA satellite remote sensing examples at the conference. A program manager at NASA headquarters, Science Mission Directorate, Dr. Skofronick- Jackson provides scientific expertise and management support for the Research and Analysis Weather Focus Area. She was assisted by an interpreter, Mami Sugaya of the Remote Sensing Technology Center of Japan (RESTEC), who relayed eager questions from the students in addition to translating Skofronick-Jackson’s message into Japanese. Eighty 10–15-year-old local area students and their parents were challenged to envision the NASA contributions to, and use of, remote sensing techniques.
