Check Out New Community Blog “Exploring Engineering Solutions for a Changing Climate – With NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement Mission”
Have you read the latest GLOBE Community Blog: “Exploring Engineering Solutions for a Changing Climate – With NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement Mission,” written by NASA Science Educator Dorian Wood Janney?
“Did you know that NASA's Earth-observing satellites gather data that is being used by people all over the world to help respond to a variety of challenges? The 2022 GLOBE International Virtual Science Symposium is focusing on ‘Engineering Solutions for a Changing Climate,” Janney said in the blog.
In this blog, Janney shares information about the ways that Faisal Hossain, a Civil and Environmental Engineering Professor at the University of Washington, is using engineering and solving environmental issues through engineering solutions.”
“Faisal Hossain grew up in Bangladesh where he observed that sometimes there was too much water, such as during the monsoon season, and other times there was not enough water to meet people's needs. Seeing these extreme conditions first hand made him wonder how he might find some solutions to the problems. You can watch a short video of him discussing this,” Janney said.
