Low-lying deltas in Indochina are vulnerable to water resources availability due to dense population and extensive irrigation. Inhabitants of the deltas depend heavily on groundwater to supplement surface water stocks for irrigation and domestic use, especially during the dry season. Over-exploitation of groundwater has led...

Water utility managers face the difficult daily task of safeguarding the public health and complying with state and federal water quality regulations, while minimizing costs and environmental impacts. Add to that continued water quality degradation from human activities, increasingly strict regulatory standards for water quality...

The NASA-ROSES SERVIR Applied Sciences Team program element highlights desertificationas a challenge unique to West Africa, and encourages studies that connect this challenge toclimate analysis. Two scientific advances of the past ~10 years speak to this connection,6motivating the research proposed here: (1) attribution of late-20th...

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...
