HDF EOS

HDF-EOS Workshop II Final Agenda

September 22-24, 1998

Last updated October 19, 1998

The first word of the "Presentation Title" section for each presenter is linked to the Powerpoint presentation they provided. These are best viewed with Internet Explorer 4 or higher, for they will simply display the Powerpoint presentation as if it was running on your computer. Netscape will either ask you where to download the file, or execute and display the Powerpoint presentation if your machine has Powerpoint installed, depending on how you have configured the Netscape browser. You can also download the free "Powerpoint Viewer"from Microsoft.
