The water resources of South Asia, which contribute to the livelihood of over a fifth of the world’s population, are the outcome of complex interactions involving glaciers, mountain snow packs, and monsoons. The complexity is further exacerbated by the rapidly changing waterscape: glaciers are receding...

Myanmar is one of the five countries with documented cases of emergence of artemisinin resistance. This project aims to develop a robust satellite data driven early warning system (Myanmar Malaria Early Warning System, MMEWS) that enables spatially-explicit monitoring and forecasting of potential surges in malaria...

The proposed project will investigate the development of a rapid-response drought monitoring tool prototype called the QuickDrought Response Index (QuickDRI) that integrates satellite-based vegetation, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture data with climateindex and biophysical data. QuickDRI will be designed to map and monitor early-stage and rapid-onset...
