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

In Fall 2021, the latest chapter of a highly successful partnership between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey launched with Landsat-9. Conceived as a way to document our planet from space, the Landsat databases now include over 10 million images, the longest continuous record of how Earth has changed over time. In this webinar, we'll explore the satellites, people and data that are enabling responsible stewardship of our natural resources. Relevant instructional resources will also be included.
