Join MIT AeroAstro and the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) for the Earth Observation Symposium, a day-long exploration of satellite-based research and innovation in celebration of Earth Day, held in the Fred A. Middleton (1971) Atrium of the Moghadam Building (55).

This symposium will convene researchers from across MIT and affiliated networks to highlight how satellites allow us to monitor weather systems, track climate change, study ecosystems, and better understand the patterns shaping our planet.

The program features a keynote address by Susan Solomon, Lee and Geraldine Martin Professor of Environmental Studies, internationally recognized for her leadership in atmospheric science. The day will also include faculty talks and panels, lightning talks and poster sessions from students and researchers, and opportunities to connect with colleagues working across this interdisciplinary field.

Celebrate MIT’s pioneering role in Earth observation, a field first explored right here in Boston, and join us in exploring how satellite science continues to advance research, technology, and society.

Space is limited — registration is required.
