Mission Statement

" We are poised at the very edge of a revolution in the way we understand the world and universe around us. Over the next few years, a growing array of Earth-orbiting satellites, robotic space missions, and a near permanent human presence in space will provide scientists with a vast wealth of data. Furthermore, interactive map displays and other advanced visualization technologies along with nearly ubiquitous access to the Internet enable people all over the world to explore these data and see Earth and space in ways never before possible. The mission of the Center for Earth and Space Science Education is to help extend this revolution in how we see our world and explore the universe to large numbers of students, teachers and the general public.
