Earth Observation Symposium

A day-long exploration of satellite-based research and innovation for Earth Day

Join MIT AeroAstro and Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) for the Earth Observation Symposium, a day-long exploration of satellite-based research and innovation for Earth Day on April 22 2026. 

This symposium will convene researchers from across MIT and affiliated networks to highlight how satellites allow us to monitor weather systems, track climate change, study ecosystems, and better understand the patterns shaping our planet. 

The day will feature talks from MIT faculty, student lightning talks and poster sessions, and opportunities to connect with experts from MIT, NASA, ESA, and beyond. The program will feature a keynote address by Susan Solomon, internationally recognized for her leadership in atmospheric science.

Celebrate MIT’s pioneering role in Earth observation, a field first explored right here in Boston, and join us in exploring how satellite science continues to advance research, technology, and society.
