This Integrated Systems Solution project responds directly to the national priority application of agricultural efficiency. Specifically, the project employs innovative approaches to integrate Earth Science results to improve the timeliness and accuracy of the acreage estimation decision support system (DSS) run by USDA's National Agricultural...

The President¿s Biofuel Initiative of 2006 mandates a 15% replacement of current gasoline consumption with biofuels by 2017. Critical issues surrounding this Initiative include knowing the current and future amount of available biomass feedstocks, the sustainability of producing bioenergy crops, the impact of this production...

Globalization and advances in technology have brought the ease of international travel, increased trades and emigration. An unexpected side effect is that invasive species, disease vectors, and infectious diseases are also transported easily around the world. In particular are infectious respiratory diseases that can spread...

This proposal describes work that will combine existing USDA and NASA modeling systems to allow critical biological models of invasive species and their control to be assessed and improved for long-term sustainable ecosystem management. It addresses not only biotic factors such as plant phenology and...
