Imagery of Earth at night provide unique opportunities for research. Dr. Miller uses these data in his studies of Earth’s nocturnal environment.
Ocean color data provide key information about ocean health. Dr. Barnes uses these data in his investigations into the health of optically shallow waters.
Approximately one-third of Earth’s ice-free land surface is devoted to agriculture and livestock. Dr. Ramankutty uses Earth observing data to help find pathways to more sustainable agricultural practices.
The ability for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to create high-resolution imagery regardless of atmospheric conditions makes it a key technology for studies of change over time. Dr. Paul Siqueira’s work improves these sensors and the Earth observing data they collect.
Global climate change is leading to shifts in vital ecosystems. Dr. Malone uses Earth observation data to explore how a changing climate impacts ecosystem structure and function.
Coastal ecosystems are some of Earth’s most biologically diverse environments, especially coastal mangrove forests. Dr. Lagomasino uses Earth observing data to study these vital biomes.
Deforestation is taking a toll on the Amazon and other areas of high biodiversity. Dr. Eric Bullock uses Earth observation data to explore the consequences of land use and land cover change in these areas.
For the people of Asia and Southeast Asia, water is integral to their livelihood. Dr. Hossain uses NASA Earth observing data to improve water management and accelerate economic development in these regions.
Water is a finite resource, and the availability of freshwater can have major social impacts. Dr. Eric Sproles uses Earth observing data as part of his studies into water’s eco-social effects.
Our atmosphere is a chemical soup that is constantly sampled by orbiting Earth observing satellites. Dr. Emily Fischer uses these data to better understand how pollutants move in the lower atmosphere.
Aerosols have a huge impact on climate and human health. Dr. Steven Massie uses remotely-sensed data to better understand these impacts and improve how aerosols are detected by Earth observing satellites.
NASA near real-time Earth observing data are vital to emergency response. Dave Jones enables these data to be used collaboratively in real time across platforms by emergency responders and managers.
