UPCOMING WEBINAR: Simplifying Geospatial Data Workflows with NASA's AppEEARS - July 17 12:00 pm Central.

[LP DAAC - dgolon]

The USGS EROS User Services team is pleased to announce the upcoming “Simplifying Geospatial Data Workflows with NASA's AppEEARS” webinar! Please join us for this webinar as part of the USGS EROS User Experience Webinar Series, where we talk to staff at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) center to learn more about the data, tools, and services available from EROS that impact our data users.

This webinar session will highlight NASA’s Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS). AppEEARS is a powerful web application that provides access to more than 100 geospatial datasets from multiple agencies including several NASA Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs), the USGS EROS Center, the National Park Service (NPS), and more.

With AppEEARS users can extract data for point locations or areas of interest for specific variables and time ranges, which results in a large reduction of download volumes. AppEEARS provides additional services including clipping and mosaicking the data for you, as well as reformatting and reprojecting outputs. Using the web application, users can explore the data with built in visualizations prior to download. For users who prefer working within a programming environment, it is also possible to interact with the AppEEARS API. This webinar will showcase AppEEARS capabilities and highlight how using AppEEARS can assist users in simplifying geospatial data workflows.

Our guest speaker will be Nathan Roberts, a data scientist and contractor for USGS EROS supporting NASA’s Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LPDAAC), a data center within NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS). The LP DAAC operates as a partnership between the USGS and NASA.

This 1-hour webinar will occur on Thursday, July 17, 2025, at 12:00 pm CDT (UTC/GMT-5).

Please register to attend the “Simplifying Geospatial Data Workflows with NASA's AppEEARS” webinar. Once you have registered for the webinar, please either click “Add to Calendar” on the confirmation page or check your email, and possibly your spam folder, for a follow up email from Teams to ensure the webinar is saved to your calendar.
