Aura and Anne Douglas feature in Know your Earth

Know Your Earth 3.0 Features Aura's Project Scientist Anne Douglass

"Know Your Earth 3.0, Local Connections" is a partnership among 22 of NASA's Earth-observing missions. This educational project focuses on educating students, teachers and the public about cutting-edge NASA Earth science research. Each mission has selected a scientist or engineer to be featured on NASA websites throughout April 2013, and many will be speaking about their work at NASA to schools, youth groups and other organizations in their hometowns. Anne Douglass is the featured project scientist for Aura, one of NASA's Earth Observing System's flagship missions.

Ozone Hole Poster

The Ozone Hole - Over 30 years of NASA Observations

Aura introduces its latest poster which illustrates data from five different missions that tracked the development of the ozone hole from space. The back of the poster provides information about stratospheric ozone. There are additional resources for educators, students, and scientists. The lesson which will introduce students to the use of color maps to visualize data about stratospheric ozone.   + Go to Feature
