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...
In this blog post, I will go through every step of the internship and
outline my experience!
Before I do that, first of all, I would like to say that I am so
happy that I got to spend my summer with SEES! This program was so
amazing and helped guide me a bit more on what I want to do in my
future career and in college! I am very grateful for all of our
mentors who guided us through...
My group’s project focused on using land cover data and GLOBE
Observer images to create a machine learning model that can predict
land surface temperature - a measure of how hot the surface of the
Earth feels in a given location. For context, GLOBE is short for
“Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment”. It’s an
app that lets volunteers across the world take...
Roboflow is an open-source dataset management platform, where users
can import data, label it, and then have a model train on it. For my
group's project, CS-FLARE, we used Roboflow to label brush, grass,
trees, and leaf litter in our NESW Images as shown below.
When I initially began labeling images, I tried
using bounding boxes for each picture like the leaf litter in the
image...

Scanning the Area
As our first assignment as part of the Earth System Explorers team, we've been tasked with making our first observations using the GLOBE Observer App. The goal was to make 12 total observations (6 Potential Mosquito Habitat & 6 Land Cover).
To be more efficient, I decided to make all of my observations...
