A NASA researcher, who works with National Geographic magazine, at Satbayev University

On November 17-18, 2025, Satbayev University will host a series of scientific workshops with Lisa Goldberg, a biosphere researcher working as an earth scientist at NASA and a researcher at National Geographic.

Lisa Goldberg is a young scientist studying for PhD at Stanford Doerr School for Sustainability. She has been working as an earth scientist at NASA since the age of 14, studying the climate change in South Asia regions, which are marked by poverty and humanitarian crises. They apply qualitative analysis and remote sensing of the earth using satellites to find ways to strengthen sustainable development in the given regions. Lisa Goldberg is the recipient of the prestigious Young Explorers 2020 Grant from National Geographic, under which she launched the Cloud to Classroom initiative, an innovative project that uses satellite imagery to help students better understand global environmental change using the remote sensing techniques.

We are inviting the teachers, undergraduates and doctoral students to take part in the sessions!
