AT: NASA Global Precipitation Measurement Mission – Earth’s Water

Virtual.  Free.   ** Save the date ** for the 2nd in series by the Global Precipitation Measurement Mission Team.

Webinar topic:  Earth’s Water

Speakers and registration details will be updated as the GPM website updates.

The GPM webinar series schedule may be found here.

The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission is an international network of satellites that provide next-generation global observations of rain and snow. Through improved measurements of precipitation globally, the GPM mission is advancing our understanding of Earth’s water and energy cycle. This improves forecasting of extreme weather events and their impacts to society and ecosystems.  GPM data supports multiple disciplines including ecology, water and agriculture, energy and weather. Effective ecosystem management is critical to maintaining and repairing the natural environments, while conserving and sustaining ecological diversity.  Satellite observations can provide critical information relevant to the distribution of ecosystems and their resident species. Natural resource managers and scientists use this information to understand patterns of biodiversity, how biodiversity is changing, drivers of changes, and to predict impacts of environmental changes on ecological systems.

All webinars will be held at 8:00 p.m. ET (7pm CST) on the second Thursday of each month, starting in Feb. 2024.  Each webinar will feature guests exploring a different theme and how it relates to GPM.
