“It's very satisfying to be – even a small cog – in a very important machine.” An Interview with Jeffrey Myers

Description

Jeffrey Myers knows his way around aerial photogrammetry. As a former lead manager at the Airborne Sensor Facility at NASA’s Ames Research Center, Jeffrey’s work with data collection and earth mapping has been affiliated with NASA’s U-2 program, MODIS, and has flown him around the world supporting scientific research. He talks with us on the specificities of aerial imaging and scientific aircrafts, the MacGyvering of fieldwork instrument in hotel rooms, and how a vague job ad in a local paper led him to Ames Research Center.
