Intern Jonathan Kvilhaug’s monitoring of mountaintop removal mining included discovering data gaps on the ground.

When I joined SkyTruth in January 2022, my spring internship coincided with my last semester of primarily virtual graduate school. During my program, I was interested in pursuing internship experiences that would supplement my study of Geography while also providing an opportunity to advance an organization’s mission. While I was already familiar with SkyTruth’s impressive portfolio of work, I later came to be most impressed by SkyTruth’s sense of community and support for one another.
