If you’re in the Washington, DC area on Tuesday, Feb. 15 why not stop by the campus of American University to hear John Amos give an illustrated talk about using satellite images to protect our environment?

John will be speaking at 7:00 p.m. at the Wechsler Theater on the 3rd floor of the Mary Graydon Center, located at 4400 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20016-8017

He’ll look at the impacts of mountaintop removal of coal in Appalachia, natural gas drilling in Wyoming, and oil pollution in the Gulf of Mexico from last year’s tragic BP spill. And we’ll enjoy a few images that remind us what a beautiful and fascinating planet we live on.

The event is free and open to the public.
