With over half of the world's population living in urban areas today-projected to grow to 68% by 2050-these tools, data, and scientific understanding will make significant contributions to national and international policies to ensure the sustainability of cities and settlements in the face of a changing climate. In an increasingly urbanizing biosphere, scientific understanding, and societal adaptation each require tools to accurately measure and monitor the dynamics and environmental consequences of the urban ecosystem. Project Description: Urban areas are principal agents of change across our home planet. CCRI: Connecting the Local Urban Fabric to Global Climate Changeĭuty location: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Enabling people from around the globe to ‘see and understand' changes that are happening as our climate warms and ecosystems respond, will be an appropriate tribute to the continuing, long-term goals of the Landsat program. The goal will be to create visual and quantitative change assessments that can be used in educational, research, and outreach settings.
#NASA INTERNSHIP HOW TO#
Searching for powerful stories of change is the overall goal of this project including how to visualize and document such changes to ensure that the visionary thinking of the original program can be celebrated in its 50th year.ĭepending on the interests of the applicant, projects can be pursued over forests, fields, aquatic, urban, and cryospheric areas.
#NASA INTERNSHIP SERIES#
With the launch of the latest Landsat 9 scheduled for late September 2021 from near where the first satellite in the series was launched from in 1972, further insights on environmental change can be assessed across space and time. The imagery acquired by the satellite sensors from this long-term mission provide a wealth of data for understanding the Earth's land surface and near-shore waters nearly from pole to pole.
Project Description: The joint NASA USGS Landsat mission will turn 50 years old in July 2022. 31, 2022, we have not yet received official NASA guidance regarding attendance for Summer 2022 opportunities in regards to the public health crisis.Īcitivities may be on-site or may be remote (i.e., WFH).ĬCRI: The Expanding Legacy of Landsat - Documenting Environmental Change Beyond Five Decadesĭuty Location: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Opportunities labeled "CCRI" are part of the year-long CCRI activitity, and are seeking both an under-graduate and high school intern.Īll other opportunities are seeking only an undegraduate summer inter.Īs of Jan. Stipends will be provided in the amount of $7,500.Ĭomplete details of the program, eligibility, and how to apply are available here.Following are descriptions of the GISS projects seeking intern participants during Summer 2022. Topics for the 2021 team-based projects are:ġ) Lunar science in support of future missions Ģ) Astronomy with the James Webb Space Telescope ģ) Development of CubeSats for Earth and planetary exploration 4) Delivering healthcare in remote environments: From Space to the Arctic and Students will work on a combination of interdisciplinary team-based research projects and focused individual research projects with one of the over 60 faculty members of the Institute, who cover diverse research areas from planetary science and engineering, to space law and health.
This program will provide students with an opportunity to perform cutting-edge, hands-on research on a range of topics in an interdisciplinary environment. Applications are now open for the 2021 Summer Exploration Internship Program run by the Institute for Earth and Space Exploration at Western University, Canada.
