About NASA's Earth Observing System

The Earth Observing System (EOS) is a coordinated series of polar-orbiting and low inclination satellites for long-term global observations of the land surface, biosphere, solid Earth, atmosphere, and oceans. EOS is a major component of the Earth Science Division of NASA's Science Mission Directorate. EOS enables an improved understanding of the Earth as an integrated system. The EOS Project Science Office (EOSPSO) is committed to bringing program information and resources to program scientists and the general public alike.

December 16-18, 2008

San Francisco, CA

Please join us at the NASA booth (#2321) during this year’s Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), where we will offer a wide variety of science presentations, interactive demonstrations, and tutorials for a variety of data tools and services. This year’s program begins on Tuesday, December 16 and will continue through Thursday, December 18, 2008.

Science presentations will focus on a diverse range of research topics, science disciplines, and programs within NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. Interactive data-oriented demonstrations will include sessions on data accessibility and search-and-order capabilities, and will feature selected data visualization, data conversion, and other data manipulation tools.

A daily agenda will be posted here in early December.

We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco!
