Eight Early-Career Scientists with NASA DEVELOP Explore Use Cases of Satellite EO for Rangelands

Earlier this spring, 8 early-career professionals with the NASA DEVELOP Program joined the NASA Acres team at Colorado State University (CSU) to complete 10-week feasibility studies focused on developing use cases for the application of satellite Earth observations (EO) for rangeland and ranch management. Tony Vorster, a research scientist in Warner College’s Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory (NREL), is the primary investigator for the NASA Acres work at CSU that the studies contributed to.
