As part of our collaboration with the Bio-Optical Oceanography Laboratory (BIOL) Fernando Gilbes was invited to give a talk about Remote Sensing of Climate Change during the Puerto Rico Weather Camp 2008. His presentation took place in the planetarium of the Physics Department of UPRM on July 17 and over 15 high school students listened to him. Yasmin Detres, researcher at BIOL, was the coordinator in UPRM of this annual event organized by the NOAA Center for Atmospheric Science (NCAS). This year camp also received the collaboration of the Atmospheric Sciences and Meteorology Program of UPRM and the Meteorological Society of Puerto Rico-Student Chapter. Students were engaged in hands-on activities, field experiments, seminars, tours of research facilities, and workshops that expand their knowledge of atmospheric sciences, weather and forecast models, and environmental instrumentation.
