+We have an upcoming free hands-on virtual workshop led by NASA PO.DAAC on data access for the Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite. The SWOT session will be held July 16, 2024, as part of the [Hacking Limnology Virtual Summit](https://aquaticdatasciopensci.github.io/), a week-long series of talks and workshops broadly focused on open data science and modeling by early career scientists and researchers. This [remote sensing SWOT session](https://aquaticdatasciopensci.github.io/day2-remote-sensing/) will be introduced by Merritt Harlan from the USGS and feature an exciting talk from Craig Brinkerhoff on SWOT-related research, followed by a 2-hour hands on demonstration by Cassie Nickles with support from NASA Openscapes Mentors.
