The NOAA Coastal Services Center will provide metadata training to
the current 14 members of the National Geospatial Technology Network
(NGTEN). This growing network is comprised of university-based
geospatial extension specialists (GES) who typically work within the
Cooperative Extension System of their state’s land-grant university.
The GES program was initiated by NASA in 2000 with three pilot projects
in Arizona, Utah and Mississippi. The pilot projects were designed to
explore and assess the roles that faculty geospatial extension
specialists could play to help educate a variety of end-users about
geographic information systems, remote sensing, global positioning
systems, airborne and satellite remote sensing and other geospatial
datasets.
