This project will incorporate data products from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) to enable SPARROW to produce assessments every season and annually, instead of every five years.
Geographic Focus
New England and the Chesapeake Bay Watersheds, and six regions - Northeast Atlantic, Southeast and...

This proposal addresses the theme of improving agricultural forecasts through a blend of downscaled climate models and observations in support of the Agriculture and Water Resources application areas/priority topics. The central objectives are to: 1) expand the usage of climate model and mission products for...

We will develop a new capability for decision-making utilizing NASA remote sensing data and modeling software to provide decision support for earthquake disaster management and response. Integrating our geophysical modeling and earthquake forecasting tools with newly available NASA InSAR capabilities (UAVSAR) will be immediately useful...

This proposal addresses NASA's priority application areas in water resources and climate. We intend to improve California?s major water management and planning system, CalSim-II, to support statewide assessments of climate change?s impact on water resources. To prepare for and adapt to climate change?s potential effects...

This proposal focuses on the application of NASA Earth Science observations to support essential EPA, WRAP, and CenSARA operational decision support tools concerned primarily with national Air Quality that includes connections to Climate and Agriculture. The decision support tools, the National Emissions Inventory (NEI) and...

We propose to deploy a system to directly apply observations from NASA's MODIS sensors into the existing USDA-NRCS rangeland conservation program decision making process in Arizona and New Mexico. Specifically, we propose to the Agriculture (1.3.1) application area, where MODIS derived estimates of vegetation cover...
