Project description: We propose to develop a global agricultural monitoring tool, with a focus on providing early warning of developing vegetation stress at relatively high spatial resolution (5-km) for agricultural decision makers and stakeholders. This tool is based on remotely sensed estimates of evapotranspiration retrieved...

The overarching objective of this proposal is to support informed agro climate decision-making by local and national stakeholders in East Africa and Southern Africa. We propose to achieve this objective by addressing needs of the SERVIR-Eastern and Southern Africa hub (Regional Center for Mapping and...

The project is developing and running a global, automated, flood forecasting, detection, measurement, mapping, and flood risk updating integrated system. This is being accomplished by merging and sequentially linking relevant remote sensing and model information sources. The Dartmouth Flood Observatory (DFO) will provide a web...

The Global Reservoir and Lake Monitor (G-REALM) is a NASA/USDA funded operational program that delivers water level products for the world’s largest lakes and reservoirs. It utilizes both NASA and European Space Agency satellite data sets to monitor the seasonal and inter-annual fluctuations in the...

This project aimed to strengthen connections between the Earth science community and electric utility data end users, as well as build capacity for domestic electric utility stakeholders to access and apply Earth observation (EO) information in resilience and renewable energy program planning. Over the course...

Floating mats of pelagic Sargassum macroalgae serve as an ecologically important habitat for many marine animals and therefore are regarded by the Sargasso Sea Commission as “the golden floating rainforest of the Atlantic Ocean.” On the other hand, excessive Sargassum beaching has become an increasing...

Human activities are increasingly fragmenting intact habitats and reducing connectivity among protected areas. Concern about loss of biodiversity led to an international agreement in 2010 to meet 20 specific biodiversity targets. Among these, Target 5 deals with fragmentation, Target 11 with connectivity, and Target 17...

Freshwater ecosystems contribute disproportionately to global biodiversity and ecosystem services but are highly threatened by climate change, drought, and unsustainable water use. In arid, semi-arid, and Mediterranean regions, landscape-scale conservation requires protection, management, and enhancement of the connectivity of dynamic wetland habitats through surface water...
