The series is hosted by the U.S. Department of Education, in conjunction with numerous other federal agencies. This January, the Green Strides Webinar Series will be conducted on:

Using Remote Sensing to Quantify Changes over Time (NASA)
	January 9, 2013 from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. For more than 30 years, satellites have been scanning the globe collecting data on everything from weather and seasonal greening to changes in snow and ice coverage or CO2 levels in the atmosphere. This webinar session will look at simplified means of quantifying these changes in sets of images taken across weeks, years or decades of study. No registration necessary. Log on here!
