Dorothy Hall (scientist)

In college, she combined these interests to pursue a degree in geographic sciences at the University of Maryland.

[4] In 2018, Hall was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union who cited her "for pioneering, innovative, and sustained research for 44 years on global remote sensing of the Earth's cryosphere".

[5] Hall is known for her research measuring the temperature of the snow and sea, and mapping its spatial extent.

While at NASA, Hall worked on the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on the Terra satellite[6] where she focused on the measurements of snow from space.

[7][8] Hall has also used the MODIS instruments on Terra and Aqua to measure the temperature of the ice surface.
