New remote sensing tools for study of the solid Earth

Speaker: Dr. Tom Farr, Earth and Space Sciences Division, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CAAbstract:
Last year the National Academy released a report: Earth Science and Applications from Space (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11820) which provided a blueprint for Earth science missions over the next decade and beyond. These include missions to study Earth's cryosphere, vegetation, soil moisture, and oceans. The missions oriented toward the solid Earth will be described, including the technical challenges and applications.
