The next NASA Earthdata webinar,"Explore the Entire Earth, Every Day with 
Satellite Imagery from NASA Worldview," will be held on Thursday, July 28, 
2016 at 2pm EDT(GMT/UTC-4).

Learn how to explore Earth as it is "right now" with NASA Worldview! During 
this webinar our speakers will show you how use the NASA Worldview application 
to interactively browse over 200 global, full resolution satellite imagery 
layers, discover natural phenomena with an easy map interface, and download 
imagery and its underlying data for further analysis.

Speakers:
Ryan Boller is working to make NASA's rich archive of Earth observations more 
visually discoverable and interactive.  As the Data Visualization Lead for the 
Earth Science Data and Information System project, he has helped to create 
Worldview and the Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS).  He holds a 
Bachelor's degree from Penn State University and a Master's from Brown 
University, both in computer science.

Taylor Gunnoe has been working in web-related development for more than 12 
years. Over the past 12 years he has created and helped to develop a variety 
of web-related projects either by himself or as part of a software engineering 
team.  He now works as the Lead Developer on NASA Worldview, where he applies 
his knowledge of everything from strong user-centric designs to cutting-edge 
development.  He also holds a Bachelor's degree in foreign language from West 
Virginia University.

Webinar Title: Explore the Entire Earth, Every Day with Satellite Imagery from 
NASA Worldview
Detailed Description:
Over the past 50+ years, NASA has built dozens of spacecraft to study the 
Earth across a range of scientific disciplines. The data from these missions 
is freely and openly available to the public and, in recent years, has been 
made to be more discoverable in a Google Maps-like way. The Worldview web app 
provides a visual interface to support a diverse array of applications 
including wildfire monitoring, air quality research, education, and 
illustration of natural events in the media. This webinar will demonstrate how 
you can explore satellite imagery of any location on the globe within hours 
after it was captured and then download the underlying data for further 
analysis. For developers, we'll briefly discuss how Worldview's open source 
code can be extended and how new clients can be built from the Global Imagery 
Browse Services (GIBS). GIBS provides responsive and highly available web 
services for almost 200 NASA satellite imagery products. We will also provide 
a preview of Worldview's upcoming features and imagery products.
