Flooding can destroy crop and cropland on a large scale. The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Services (NASS) has the mandate to report crop loss after...

We propose to apply a new statistical model of North-Atlantic tropical cyclones (TC), based on historical storm track data and developed at the NASA Goddard...

Emissions from fire, including agricultural and rangeland burning, forest fires, and peatland fires, impact the atmosphere dramatically. Current tools to quantify emission sources are developing...

In the wake of severe weather events, the National Weather Service (NWS) needs to acquire detailed, highly perishable data necessary for conducting post-event analysis. The...

Fire managers will soon have ready access to weather and fire models to predict the behavior of fires whose locations are known. The models result...

This feasibility study proposal is submitted in response to the NASA Research Announcement NNH08ZDA001N. It specifically responds to Disaster Management applications of the Earth Sciences...

The period immediately following an environmental disaster typically involves a rush by decision makers and scientists, to determine what data are relevant and to access...

Event-Driven Data Delivery (ED3) technology addresses the problem of data preparedness for disaster events. In the Stage 1-Feasibility study, the team created a flexible, loosely...

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...

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...
