| Basic Viewer launched with Water Quality Points
"Our primary educational goal is to engage K-12 students in schools within and around the
Chesapeake Bay Watershed in taking, analyzing, reporting, and monitoring the nutrient
(nitrate and phosphate) content of tributaries within a watershed. Building upon these
observations, students will be asked to relate weather phenomena, observed by conventional
and satellite techniques, to their observations. Ultimately, they will be asked to observe
and analyze images from Landsat satellites to determine if, and how, changes in land use
and land cover with time may be affecting the nutrient content of these waters."
