The summer of 2017 I worked my first contract with the NASA DEVELOP Program and used satellite imagery for the first time. I was on the Mississippi Sound Water Resources II team along with my teammates, Carter Grimm and Rachel Green. Using Landsat imagery and in situ data, we calculated turbidity and ran correlation analyses on salinity and oyster landings in the Mississippi Sound. As part of the project, I created a video summary that broke down the analysis at an 8th grade level. Additionally, we presented our findings at NASA HQ in D.C. as part of the 2017 Summer Showcase.
