Notes from Summer 2019: Helping NASA monitor the Earth
Tiffany Shreves (UNCA Computer Science major / Astronomy minor) spent the summer as a software engineering intern at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, working with the Goddard Earth Sciences Data Information Services Center (GES DISC). She used Python to make a visualization and geospatial mapping tool for Level-2 earth science satellite data, and made Jupyter Notebook resources to accompany online How-To guides on data acquisition, analysis, and visualization on the GES DISC website.
