Weston Roundtable: Tommy Jasmin

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution will depend on methods to monitor economic development, energy use, and emission trends remotely. Night lighting provides a mechanism to track these parameters. The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite in November 2011 brought vastly improved nighttime light observation capability. Our speaker will explore potential novel applications for the data, which will help to enable stewardship of Earth's environment and resources.
