Description
A diverse fleet of Earth orbiting satellites, many launched in the last decade, is providing us with a first ever look at motion and change of the external Earth system, and our species' influence on this system. In this planetarium style course, satellite images and time-lapse movies are used to demonstrate global human impacts in the context of global rhythms in the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and solid Earth.
