Special Session:

Creating a Healthy Remote Sensing Education Pipeline: Moving from K-12 to University

Moderator:  Lindi Quackenbush, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry

The remote sensing field is growing and changing rapidly.  Deployment of novel sensors requires greater prerequisite knowledge and development of new processing methods. In order to ensure we have a well-trained workforce able to advance this field, we need to create a pipeline of students who can engage in advanced study in remote sensing.  There are a wide range of activities that can be used to facilitate development of interest and skills at an early level to support advanced undergraduate or graduate study and stimulate interest in remote sensing as both art and science. This session will bring together panelists from members of the AmericaView consortium to present their experiences in a range of pipeline topics including K-12 outreach, service learning, STEM literacy, and curriculum development.
