Rapid advancements in science and technology combined with the urgency of societal needs has led to NASA’s renewed commitment to transform Earth observation data into actionable information. What does the NASA Earth Science to Action strategy mean for us at Goddard? What is the Applied Sciences group doing to help our Earth Sciences Division understand and adapt to change while continuing to pursue impactful research? What is the role of partnerships? How can you develop external collaborations and partnerships and when do you need a formal agreement? Tune in to this seminar by Goddard’s Applied Sciences Manager for updates, examples of recent activities, and opportunities to get involved.

Stephanie Schollaert Uz is the Applied Sciences Manager at Goddard Space Flight Center, leading activities to advance the practical application of Goddard science. Her team convenes working groups with scientists and practitioners around Air Quality & Health, Climate & Environmental Health, Disasters, Food Security, Mission Applications, and the Chesapeake Bay, developing external partnerships that foster impactful uses of Earth observations for societal benefit. Her own research currently focuses on water quality issues in the Chesapeake Bay. She has a PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from the University of Maryland, MS in Physical Oceanography from the University of Rhode Island, and BS in Oceanography from the U.S. Naval Academy.
