GESTAR II Members participate in New Year's Poster Party at NASA GSFC
On Tuesday, January 28, 2025, the annual SED New Year's Poster Party was held at NASA GSFC in the Building 28 Atrium. Individuals from various disciplines within NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Sciences and Exploration Directorate (SED) were able to reuse their posters from past meetings and conferences (e.g., AGU, AMS) and share their findings with attendees. The event also included the famous Science as Food contest; Judy Racusin and Regina Caputo (both 661) of the Fermi team took home the prize this year. The annual Piers J. Sellers Award for Interdisciplinary Science, a cricket bat bestowed with plaques of winners’ names, was presented to Eli Rockenbeck (691).
Of the approximately 120 posters on display, the following GESTAR II researchers were lead authors of posters at the event (several of these posters included GESTAR II members as co-authors, where noted):
James Allen (616/MSU) (with A. Sayer), "MOCMAC: Polarimetric ocean color atmospheric correction using Bayesian inference techniques"

Thomas Stanley (617/UMBC) (with P. Amatya), "Do better satellite precipitation algorithms improve landslide hazard assessment?"
Amin Dezfuli (610.1/UMBC) (with C. Ichoku), "Applications of MERRA-2 data for avian migration, biomass burning, and dusty atmospheric rivers"
