Remote Sensing Class Presentation: A presentation on the GOES and the characteristics of its channels was given to a Remote Sensing class at the Metropolitan State College of Denver. Since the Remote Sensing class focuses mainly on earth resource topics, the students were presented with the perspective of how meteorologists view and use satellite imagery. (B. Connell)

DRI Seminar: A presentation entitled “Synthetic GOES-R and NPOESS imagery” was presented at the Desert Research Institute (DRI) Seminar in Reno, Nevada on October 19, 2005. (L. Grasso)
