Recommendations to NASA: How to Expand Reach to Environmental Justice Leaders

 

EPIC staff member, Jessie Mahr, was invited to participate in a three-part workshop hosted by NASA and Earth Science Information Partners (EISP) that focused on Understanding Needs to Broaden the Outside Use of NASA Data (UNBOUND). This program works to engage and understand the needs of nontraditional potential users of NASA data. Through these workshops, participating organizations from various communities and disciplines learn about a range of NASA products and services. Participants provided both general feedback and insights on specific tools to inform decision making and prioritization to ultimately make NASA products more usable by new audiences.
