NASA Internship

The NASA DEVELOP Program focuses on helping local and international communities better understand environmental concerns through the use of NASA's Earth observations. NASA DEVELOP operates at twelve locations across the country including locations at NASA centers and other regional locations. This is a great opportunity for individuals who are interested in practical applications of remote sensing and GIS, specifically in the field of Earth Science. Program participants work with NASA scientists, partner organizations, and science advisors to learn about the use of NASA Earth science data for application in water resources, disaster management, ecological forecasting, and other applications to address environmental community concerns.

Responsibilities include: literature review, data processing and analysis, and producing deliverables, such as a technical report, presentation, and video. Previous GIS or remote sensing knowledge, while beneficial, is not required for acceptance.
