Intern Austin Clack’s environmental monitoring projects reveal to him the enormous power traditional remote sensing techniques hold when paired with machine learning.
My name is Austin Clack. I am a SkyTruth intern and a UCLA Bruin, graduating this month. Since September of 2021, the exposure I’ve had to the wide range of SkyTruth programs and key issue areas has opened my eyes to the limitless potential remote sensing holds to provide invaluable insight into virtually any natural or anthropogenic phenomenon.

Late last week a group of researchers led by Dr. Yanzhu Dong — including SkyTruth’s Science Advisor, Dr. Ian MacDonald — published a major new study in the prestigious journal Science with a disturbing conclusion: commercial shipping is a major source of chronic, day-to-day oil pollution in our ocean, and pollution from shipping is rapidly getting worse.

My name is Breanna Xiong! I like to describe myself as a somewhat typical first-generation American college graduate. I’m Hmong-American, born to war-refugee-rice-farming parents, and was raised in California’s Central Valley.
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.
