Several individuals sponsored by ECSU presented oral and poster presentations during IGARSS '08. Dr. Darnell Johnson, Chair of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department, presented "You Be the Polar Scientist: Design and Implementation of Underrepresented K-12 Student Involvement in Knowledge Transfer Activities Related To Remote Sensing Of Ice Sheets" a paper co-written with Dr. Linda Hayden.

Dr. Malcolm LeCompte presented "Measuring the Temperature of Polar Ice Sheets", a hands on workshop utilizing infrared camera and objects with varyious temperature. This workshop illustrated how the surface temperature of polar ice sheets could be measured visually fromk space.

Unquiea Wade "Airborne Measurement of Snow Thickness Over Sea Ice" a research project she conducted while interning with the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets CReSIS at the University of Kansas. Unquiea's full research can be viewed at http://nia.ecsu.edu/ureoms2006/sp/wade/index.html.

A recent graduate of ECSU, Kaiem Frink, was present as Dr. Gilbert Rochon, Purdue University-Information Technology, presented "Overcoming Bandwidth and Satellite Communications Limitations to Accelerate Applications of Remote Sensing and High Performance Computing for African Development: Contributions from Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa" a paper that Kaiem co-authored.
