Coastal regions in the northern Gulf of Mexico such as the Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas coast are under the NASA measurements) will be integrated into the DST to provide 3-D ocean currents, temperature, salinity and sea level variations at 20 levels and a resolution of...

Hydrothermal alteration which produces argillic and phyllic minerals has been shown to weaken volcanic edifices and increase the potential for debris flows (Crandell, 1971; Scott and others, 1995). We propose to use Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data, and the ASTER Global...

This proposal addresses the Applied Sciences Program goal of integrating Earth science data and information for disaster forecasting, mitigation and response; specifically by delivering EO-derived built environment data and information for use in catastrophe (CAT) models and loss estimation tools. CAT models and loss estimation...

Environmental epidemiological studies have linked exposure to ambient PM2.5 (airborne particles less than 2.5 micrometers in size) with adverse health effects such as reduced lung function, increased asthma incidence and heart attacks. Characterizing population exposures to PM2.5, therefore, has emerged as a major environmental health...

Early tsunami warning critically hinges on rapid analysis of the triggering earthquake, but unfortunately, even precise knowledge of the earthquakes location and magnitude is not enough to predict a tsunamis power (scale) that is needed for effective early warnings. Recently, we have demonstrated the use...

The U.S. Forest Service National Forest System (NFS) manages approximately one fifth of the country’s forestlands. NFS has been directed to more closely monitor the influence of forest management on forest carbon sequestration so that greenhouse gas mitigation may be incorporated into the forest planning...

Surface-level ozone causes serious health impacts in humans and damages crops and terrestrial ecosystems. High concentrations of ozone are due to a combination of photochemistry, dynamics, and background or long range transport of pollutants. As discussed in the NESCAUM report (NESCAUM, 2006), ""Scientific studies have...

Traditional surface-based particle pollution measurements are the basis for compliance assessment, but they have limited spatial coverage. Satellites can provide much broader coverage, but they currently do not offer extensive particle vertical distribution information, and cannot distinguish among spherical aerosol compositions without calibration by ground...

This proposal seeks to continue an effort that exploits the combination of two key data sets, the Landsat historical record and plot records from the US Forest Service (USFS) Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program, for the purpose of developing a quantitative understanding of forest...
