David Lagomasino and Temilola Fatoyinbo are NASA satellite experts.They saw Liza's request.In it,she talked about how she had studied trees in her own backyard to learn about climate change.The two NASA scientists were impressed."This girl sounds great, Lagomasino remembers saying."Let's bring her in."They made a special role for her outside the internship program. Lagomasino and Fatoyinbo thought Liza could help them use satellite data to map mangroves,a small tree that grows in muddy forests on the coastlines of many tropical countries.Mangroves are very important as they store huge amounts of carbon,which makes them helpful for fighting global warming.They are also home to fish that millions of people depend on for food. Less than two years later,Liza has developed what might be the world's first satellite-based system to determine where mangroves are in trouble.The work uses data from four satellites.It covers mangrove growth and loss,rainfall,agriculture and city growth. Lagomasino and Fatoyinbo brought Liza in during the summer before she started high school.The teen had seen mangroves only once before,during a trip to Fort Myers, Florida.Soon,she would see many more,at least on her computer screen. Liza learned that half of the world's mangroves had disappeared.She was shocked and motivated to do something."I wanted to create some kind of solution,she said.She would even work during school breaks or at home on her projects.Liza's hard work is starting to pay off.Already,environmental groups are eager to use her system to make their work more effective. Now that she has turned 16,Liza has finally joined NASA's official internship program. 语篇解读：本文
