The NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) will convene their 8th Science Team Meeting May 9-12 at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in person, with plans for some virtual participation. AFSC is working with ABoVE to organize an associated hands-on workshop on using remotely sensed data and products in operational and decision-making settings on May 12-13. Note that these events were originally planned for May 2020.
The workshop will be a great opportunity for researchers and managers to work directly together to follow up on the progress made by the 2017 AFSC remote sensing workshop and its report and explore the use of promising research products in a management context. ABoVE has a helpful online web portal to its data products. The ABoVE domain includes most of Alaska and western Canada, and we hope the workshop will include our Canadian colleagues.
