The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.

Water. An essential ingredient for life and a key driver of weather on our planet. Yet, unlike Landsat's database, there is little to no data for some of Earth's most important freshwater bodies. As climate changes, limited knowledge hampers our ability to manage water resources effectively. In this webinar, we'll become acquainted with SWOT and SnowEx, missions that address these gaps in understanding with respect to Earth's water cycle. Relevant instructional resources will also be included.
