Join the Permafrost Discovery Gateway (PDG) monthly webinar series this spring!

The Thursday webinar aims to:

  • Connect the international science community interested in big data remote sensing of permafrost landscapes;
  • Provide the PDG development team with end-user stories (by the presenter and webinar participants), such as exploring community needs to create and explore big data.

You can read more about the PDG webinars here.
