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

Addressing real-world challenges begins with access to high-quality data. For 60+ years, NASA has tracked Earth's "vital signs" on land, by sea and air, and from space. Now, more than ever, NASA's free and open datasets are critical to managing our planet's natural resources while also mitigating undesirable consequences of human activity. In the first of a two-part series on sustainable development, we'll explore this necessary foundation. Relevant instructional resources will also be included.
