Welcome
The 2010 Earth Science Technology Forum (ESTF2010) was held June 22-24, 2010, at the Sheraton Crystal City in Arlington, VA, and showcased a wide array of technology research and development related to NASA's Earth science endeavors. Over 50 presentations were given on latest advances in NASA-funded technology for Earth science observations – remote sensing instruments, platforms, components, advanced information systems, sensor web technologies, communications, automation, and modeling – within two parallel tracks of sessions.
