    P2 NASA ARSET - Integration of Animal Tracking and Remote Sensing Data

    Welcome to Part 2 of this biodiversity and spatial analytics series on the NASA Live Video Podcast: "NASA ARSET - Integration of Animal Tracking and Remote Sensing Data." ​Building upon the foundational concepts introduced in Part 1, this episode moves from theory to technical execution—focusing on the precise integration, alignment, and analytical workflows required to fuse animal telemetry with Earth observation datasets. ​Through the framework of NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) program, we dive deep into the spatial and temporal matchmaking of GPS tracking points with dynamic satellite variables. We examine advanced methodologies, such as dynamic Brownian Bridge Movement Models (dBBMM) and Step-Selection Functions (SSF), and demonstrate how environmental covariates—including MODIS surface reflectances, Landsat land cover classifications, and ECOSTRESS evapotranspiration—are extracted along movement trajectories. Furthermore, we showcase open-source software tools and spatial analytics platforms (such as Movebank and Google Earth Engine) that enable ecologists to model habitat selection, assess anthropogenic impacts, and predict species responses to environmental change. ​Whether you are a quantitative ecologist, a GIS professional, a conservation biologist, or a remote sensing specialist looking to master movement-environment analytical pipelines, this episode provides hands-on technical guidance.

    NASA ARSET - Overview of Sea Level Change – Regional to Global

    Welcome to this comprehensive oceanography and climate science episode of the NASA Live Video Podcast: "NASA ARSET: Overview of Sea Level Change – Regional to Global." ​In this episode, we take a deep dive into the dynamic mechanisms driving ocean volume change across various spatial and temporal scales. Sea level rise is not uniform across the globe; while global mean sea level serves as a primary indicator of planetary warming, regional variations driven by ocean currents, winds, thermal expansion, and land vertical motion create complex local impacts that coastal planners must navigate. ​Through the framework of NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) program, we present an overarching look at how Earth-observing satellite missions track the drivers of sea level variability. We explore how altimetry, gravity measurements, and oceanographic buoys are combined to measure steric changes (density and temperature driven) alongside barystatic changes (ice melt and land water storage additions). Furthermore, we break down how satellite observations help bridge the gap between global climate projections and actionable, regional risk assessments for vulnerable coastal zones. ​Whether you are an oceanographer, a climate policy researcher, an environmental consultant, or a space enthusiast curious about how Earth science satellites monitor our changing seas, this episode delivers valuable foundational knowledge.

    NASA ARSET - LiDAR Profiling Satellite Observations for Air Quality Applications

    Welcome to this highly specialized atmospheric science episode of the NASA Live Video Podcast: "NASA ARSET: LiDAR Profiling Satellite Observations for Air Quality Applications." ​In this episode, we explore how active spaceborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensors provide critical vertical insights into Earth's atmosphere. While traditional passive satellite sensors offer horizontal mapping of air pollution, LiDAR profiling adds the vital third dimension—vertical resolution—allowing atmospheric scientists to detect the exact altitude, layer thickness, and vertical transport of aerosols and particulate matter. ​Through the framework of NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) program, we examine the physics and data products associated with spaceborne LiDAR profiling systems, such as CALIOP aboard CALIPSO and the CATS instrument on the ISS. We discuss how vertical aerosol extinction profiles help differentiate between surface-level air pollution (PM_{2.5}) and elevated smoke plumes, volcanic ash, or dust layers transported over long distances. Additionally, we showcase practical workflows for integrating space-based LiDAR data into air quality monitoring frameworks, chemical transport models, and public health warning systems. ​Whether you are an air quality specialist, an atmospheric modeller, an environmental health researcher, or a space enthusiast eager to learn how satellite lasers measure atmospheric pollution, this episode delivers essential technical knowledge.

    NASA ARSET - Assessment Tools for Sea Level Change

    Welcome to this vital climate and ocean-focused episode of the NASA Live Video Podcast: "NASA ARSET: Assessment Tools for Sea Level Change." ​In this episode, we address one of the most pressing challenges facing coastal communities worldwide: global and regional sea level rise. Driven by thermal expansion of warming oceans and accelerating ice sheet melt, shifting sea levels present significant risks to coastal infrastructure, ecosystems, and human populations. Accurate monitoring and predictive assessment tools are critical for climate adaptation and resilient urban planning. ​Through the framework of NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) program, we examine the satellite data, analytical models, and open-access tools used to measure and project sea level changes. We explore data streams from altimetry missions like Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, Jason-3, and GRACE-FO to understand total ocean mass changes and steric sea level components. Furthermore, we demonstrate how coastal managers, hydrologists, and climate analysts can utilize specialized NASA analytical portals to evaluate local sea level projections and flood risk scenarios. ​Whether you are a coastal manager, an environmental scientist, an urban planner, or a space enthusiast interested in how Earth-observing satellites monitor our changing oceans, this episode offers essential technical and analytical insights.
