Norwood Farewell Tribute

04.13.2023
Laura Rocchio (618/SSAI) wrote and posted a farewell tribute to Virginia T. Norwood (aka “The Mother of Landsat”) and timed a tweet release pointing to the tribute in coordination with MIT to announce her death. As of April 13, 2023, The Washington Post, The New York Times, NPR, and ABC-affiliate stations have all published obituaries for Norwood that rely heavily on Rocchio’s 2020 Norwood article for background information and a 2022 Norwood video created as a collaboration of the NASA Goddard Office of Communication and Landsat Outreach team, including Rocchio, Ginger Butcher (618/SSAI), and Ross Walter (618/SSAI).

Overview

The Biospheric Sciences Laboratory studies terrestrial ecosystems and their interactions with the atmosphere using multiscale remote sensing, mathematical modeling, and advanced analytical techniques. This research allows Laboratory scientists to characterize and predict environmental changes due to natural and anthropogenic processes at local to global scales.
