With a little help from friends, intern Cameron Reaves developed a user-friendly dashboard for SkyTruth’s Colorado River Basin work.
During an all-staff meeting in February, Cameron listened to SkyTruth’s Technical Program Director Ry Covington present his work on mapping vegetation in the Colorado River Basin. He knew he wanted to be involved. So he reached out to Ry and asked if he could help build the visualization dashboard for this data.

My conversation with astronaut, teacher, and SkyTruth board member Barbara Morgan stretched to two and a half hours, yet just scratched the surface of her remarkable experiences and perspective. Here’s a taste of what she shared and how SkyTruth helps her continue following her passions.
“I learned a lot.” That’s a common refrain from teacher, astronaut, and SkyTruth board member Barbara Morgan as she talks about her time with NASA.

Citizen activist Jan Milburn relies on SkyTruth Alerts to challenge fracking in her community.
When it all started 10 years ago, Jan Milburn knew she didn’t want hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in her rural Pennsylvania community. With SkyTruth Alerts, Milburn receives notices any time a new permit for a well or a violation at an existing well occurs in her community or adjacent communities.
SkyTruth is developing tools to help land managers measure the impact of restoration activities from space.
SkyTruth just wrapped up the first year of a project to map vegetation trends along the Colorado River, so it seems like a good time to share some of the exciting progress we’ve made so far.

Cameron believes the democratization of data can improve people’s lives and help protect the planet. At SkyTruth, he’s advancing projects to do just that.
When Cameron discovered the SkyTruth remote internship on a “tech for good” job board, he realized that Skytruth was a perfect fit.

Our tech partner AWS has released a new video that explains how SkyTruth’s Cerulean is changing the game in tracking illegal oil pollution at sea.
With this brief video AWS is helping us share our work with the world and seek out those who can advance our goals — either by helping us develop the technology or by holding polluters accountable. Check it out and let us know what you think.
