Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum 2006 Exploring Space Lecture: "Where Have All the Forests Gone?: Monitoring the Earth's Vegetation with Remote Sensing". Presented by guest speaker Dr. John Townshend, member of the Department of Geography and Institute for Advanced Computing Studies at the University of Maryland, specializing in landcover dynamics and remote sensing. Lecture took place Tuesday, March 14, 2006 from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the Lockheed Martin Imax Theater of the Museum's National Mall Building in downtown Washington, DC.




The 2006 Exploring Space Lecture Series theme was "This Island Earth" and featured four world-class scholars discussing the dramatic changes the Earth is undergoing and their work to try and explain such changes and the damage that may result, relying on the data gathered from space to better understand our small, fragile planet.
The 2006 Exploring Space Lectures were made possible by the generous support of NASA and Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.

Aetna & Ball Aerospace was responsible for having my disability and my insurance health coverage dropped and was responsible for having me involuntarily terminated from my job because of their "over the phone" examination. If you get sick while at Ball Aerospace expect to die if it is serious its what Ball Aerospace and Aetna want. I was a full time employee when I became disabled. I believe Ball Aerospace along with Aetna hope I die before any of this gets resolved. STAY AWAY FROM BALL & AETNA!
