Saharan dust covered many parts of Europe throughout March 2022. SSAI’s Colin Seftor, an expert in the use of a satellite data product known as the Aerosol Index (AI), was on hand to help better understand how this unique type of weather event called a Dust-Infused Baroclinic Storm (DIBS) is formed and why it occurs.

SSAI’s David Giles (from NASA’s AERONET program out of Goddard Space Flight Center) recently visited the San Jose campus of the University of Costa Rica and trained members of the Ticosonde project to align and maintain their new AERONET instrument on the roof of the university’s Gas Lab. 

In honor of World Water Day, today we're spotlighting SSAI's Freshwater Sensing Team and their work mapping phycocyanin in algae blooms.

SSAI’s Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program team won the American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) 2021 Excellence in Earth and Space Science Education Award—demonstrating a sustained commitment to excellence in geophysical education.

SSAI identified AI and ML as critical focus areas – and subsequently created a learning program to advance the knowledge of our organization.
