Results of four dozen applications projects funded by NASA's Gulf of Mexico Initiative, part of NASA's Applied Sciences Program in the Earth Sciences Division, were presented during a three-day workshop in New Orleans on Jan. 23-25. People from across the nation attended the workshop to report on accomplishments achieved across a variety of topics including fisheries management, levee management, marsh loss, water quality, coastal conservation, disaster management, and public health. "These projects created tools and information that will benefit the Gulf of Mexico region for years to come," said Duane Armstrong, chief of the Applied Science & Technology Project Office at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center, which manages the Gulf of Mexico Initiative and hosted the New Orleans workshop.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
