Check out Kevin's report on our visit to the White House. http://gif-news.blogspot.com/2014/04/gif-at-white-house-climate-data.

We are in the lovely Indian Treaty room.And we were there! Kevin and I went to the White House (here is photographic proof.) The Presidents Climate Data Initiative was launched March 18th with the tagline: Empowering Americas Communities to Prepare for the Effects of Climate Change.

AB1327 is a bill that could potentially impact the work that we do in regards to remote sensing and aerial imagery collection, etc in the near future. See the link below for more detail.

Digital Globe is enlisitng a crowdsourcing effort to scan through thousands of satellite images and tag potential sitings of the Malaysian Aircraft that went missing this weekend.

Thanks to Dave Thau, Karin Tuxen-Bettman, John Bailey, and Emily Henderson who came to visit the GIF and give a demo of the GEE toolbox. We went over the guts of GEE, Timelapse (very cool: make your own! Here is mine), the GEE GUI framework, and the GEE API.
