I did my AOI centered at a point near the entrance of my old elementary school, Wilshire Elementary, in Euless, which is where I live. I finished my 37 field observations in the span of exactly 7 days. This allowed me to have more breathing space when collecting my data. When strategizing a plan to get this done, I decided to keep my process as simple and efficient as possible...

The Problem You've got a list of AOI coordinates. Google Maps will show them to you, but it won't tell you the best order to visit them.

This project is all about mixing the personal stories of citizen scientists with 30 years of the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) program. It combines these two sources, as well as other data sources, to get a complete picture of how our environment change              ​​​​​​​ ...

Our project for SEES 2024 was "Creating a Model to Identify High-Risk Areas for Flash Flooding in Houston, Texas." In this blog, I will discuss how we calculated which areas are "high-risk." There are many ways to identify the most at-risk points of flooding in a given region. Such points are commonly identified in a flood map, such as the one here: For our...

SEES 2024 Experience Getting the opportunity to participate in the NASA SEES Earth System Explorers program has positively impacted my educational and career journey in more ways than I could've imagined. Throughout this internship, I gained an immense amount of knowledge in Earth science, utilizing the GLOBE Observer app, ArcGIS, Collect Earth Online, Python, and many other tools...
