  • The Earth Observer January – February 2020. Volume 32, Issue1
    Over Thirty Years Reporting on NASA’s Earth Science Program National Aeronautics and The Earth Observer Space Administration January – February 2020. Volume 32, Issue 1 Editor’s Corner Steve Platnick EOS Senior Project Scientist On January 21, 2020, a Symposium on Earth Science and Applications from Space took place at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC to pay tribute to the career of Michael Freilich. As director of the Earth Science Division at NASA Headquarters from 2006–2019—and throughout nearly 40 years of ocean research—Freilich helped train and inspire the next generation of scientists and scientific leaders. Freilich, his wife, and other family members were in attendance. Colleen Hartman [National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM)—Space Studies and Aeronautics Engineering Board Director], the former Deputy Center Director at GSFC, moderated the symposium. After opening remarks from Marcia McNutt [NASEM—President] and Thomas Zurbuchen [NASA Headquarters (HQ)—Associate Administrator of the Science Mission Directorate (SMD)], Dudley Chelton [Oregon State University] gave a moving keynote presentation, where he gave an overview of Freilich’s life and career from his unique perspective as both his colleague and longtime friend. After this came remarks from William “Bill” Gail [Global Weather Corporation], who discussed the development of the two Earth Science Decadal Surveys [2007 and 2017], emphasizing the key role that Freilich played in overseeing the development and implementation of these guiding documents for Earth Science. A significant portion of the day was given over to a series of eight presentations that concentrated on research areas in which Freilich was actively involved and/or played an important support role throughout his career.

Kea, NASA/GSFC She lit up a room with her wonderful smile; she made everyone in her presence feel that they were important. On October 5, 2008 one of our rising stars in astronomy had fallen. Dr. Beth Brown was an Astrophysicist in the Science and Exploration Directorate at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Beth was always fascinated by space: she grew up watching Star Trek and Star Wars, which motivated her to become an astronaut. However, her eyesight prevented her from being eligible for astronaut training, which led to her pursuing the stars through astronomy. Beth pursued her study of the stars more seriously at Howard University where she majored in physics and astronomy. Upon learning that her nearsightedness would limit her chances of becoming an astronaut, Beth’s love for astronomy continued to grow and she graduated summa cum laude from Howard University. Beth continued her education at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. There she received a Master’s Degree in Astronomy in 1994 on elliptical galaxies and she obtained her Ph.D.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: INTERNATIONAL
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN CLIMATE MONITORING VIA SATELLITE: INCENTIVES AND BARRIERS TO DATA SHARING Mariel Michelle John Borowitz, Ph.D., 2013 Directed By: Professor John Steinbruner, School of Public Policy Understanding and addressing climate change requires the collection of a significant amount of environmental data. Although satellites can best collect much of this data, it is not possible for one nation to collect all relevant climate data on its own, and there are currently gaps in relevant satellite data collection. Further, much of the data that is collected is not shared freely, but instead has barriers to access that limit its use for both scientific research and operational purposes. This research examined the development of data sharing policies to identify the barriers and incentives to international sharing of climate data collected by satellites. Quantitative analysis of satellite data-sharing policies for Earth observation data as well as case studies of domestic agencies in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, showed that limitations in data sharing are due to 1) a belief that data can efficiently be treated as a commodity, a viewpoint which conflicts with experience for nearly all climate data; 2) the lack of recognition of the normative justification for sharing climate data, though this norm exists for weather data; and 3) insufficient agreement that international cooperation and data sharing are required to adequately monitor climate change. These limitations exist due to uncertainties about the nature of the market for climate data, the inadequate understanding of climate impacts and the ability to mitigate them, and an inadequate understanding of the requirements of climate science and operational activities.
