Dr. Tomothy Killeen, Director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research and President-Elect of the American Geophysical Union, has given a nice presentation before the House Science Committee, April 28, 2005, especially outlining the role of NASA's Earth Science Program (ESP) in the Earth Observing System and in gathering environmental data. How well the ESP operates might indirectly affect how we gather satellite data for coral reef mapping and monitoring.
