November 5, 1996
This month, scientists will celebrate
the 2nd anniversary of the Global
Hydrology and Climate Center (GHCC). The GHCC is an innovative collaborative
enterprise between NASA, the Alabama
Space Science and Technology Alliance, and Universities
Space Research Association.
The GHCC provides a new and unique way of conducting science, by bringing
together scientists, researchers, engineers, educators, applications personnel,
and managers from government, universities, and industry with the objective
to address global hydrological processes. The Space Sciences Laboratory
Earth System Science
Division is located at the GHCC. All of the activities at the GHCC support
NASA's Mission to Planet Earth
and in particular the development and use of space-based measurements to
study and understand the role of water and water vapor in the climate and
climate variability questions.
On the morning of the 14th of November, 1996, the GHCC will host
a group of 40-50 foresters from the Ocoee District of the Cherokee National
Forest, and will provide information about remote sensing applications to
forest management.
For the public, the celebration begins at 1p.m. for a two-hour open
house. Presentations of GHCC science will be given and people will
be able to talk informally with GHCC researchers. Special activities for
teachers will be held from 3p.m. to 4p.m.
The GHCC is located at 977 Explorer Boulevard in Research Park West, just
north of the Marshall Space Flight Center. From MSFC, take Rideout Road
north to Bradford Blvd. and exit west. Turn right (north) on Explorer Blvd.,
and the GHCC is the last building on the left. If you get lost, you can
phone 922-5700 for directions.
