Dr. Teresa Fryberger (center), NASA's new associate director of Applied Sciences in NASA Headquarters' Science Mission Directorate, meets with Mark Glorioso (left), Stennis Space Center's Applied Research and Technology Office chief; and SSC Director Dr. Rick Gilbrech during her visit to the center March 20.

Fryberger visited SSC to learn more about the people who conduct the center's work in the program. SSC participation includes research in NASA science capabilities relevant to community concerns such as climate change and health of the planet. The work includes creating advanced computer-generated visualizations, demonstrating research results from remote sensing data and models, and managing the information used by Applied Sciences Program participants at four other centers and NASA Headquarters.
