The USDA Forest Service in partnership with Clemson University will be hosting a webinar showcasing NASA’s Land-Use/Land-Cover Change Program (LCLUC) program, exploring how time-tracking of land use observations from space could be used from a planning perspective . The webinar will be hosted on Wednesday, March 12 from 2 – 3:30 pm Eastern. The focus of the webinar series (and title) is Planning for Growth and Open Space Conservation. The audience is a mix of planners and natural resources managers at all levels of government and in the private sector. Dr. Gutman will be giving an intro to NASA’s LCLUC program, followed by urban (Cristine Milesi, NASA Ames), forest (Cheng Huang, U. Maryland) and agriculture (David Roy, South Dakota State U.) presentations. The research is based on work supported by the NASA LCLUC program.
