Hoy has over 10 years of experience with the NASA Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems Office and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
During the event, participants can learn about the efforts of NASA researchers who are currently examining Earth to understand climate change, storms, fires, and where people fit into all of it, including an active mission to study climate change in northern regions of the world.
