Remote Sensing Research Links


These bookmarks represent a comprehensive collection of Internet resources used by students and instructors in the course titled "Understanding and Teaching Earth Observations from Space," which comprises Phase 2 of the Earth/Space Science Internship Program. This course is sponsored by the Maryland Space Grant Consortium and is part of the Johns Hopkins University Master of Science in Science Education program. The course was taught at the Hagerstown Junior College Advanced Technology Center from July 20 - August 1, 1997.
