You can also learn about NASA Lifelines, a new initiative that is bringing together scientists and humanitarians to solve some of the most pressing challenges that communities around the world face. 

"A World Without Disasters" Hyperwall Talk

NASA SMD Exhibit Booth #531
Wed. Dec. 13, 2:30p.m. - 2:45p.m.

Join NASA Disasters Program Manager Shanna N. McClain PHD and DevGlobal Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer Rhiannan Price as they explore their vision for a world without disasters. Learn how the NASA Disasters program develops tools for risk reduction and resilience that can help prevent hazards from turning into disasters, and learn about NASA Lifelines, a new initiative that is working to solve humanitarian challenges using Earth science and technology. 

NASA Earth Science Division Town Hall

2020 - West (Level 2, West, Moscone Center)  
Tues. Dec. 12, 6:30p.m. - 7:30p.m.

NASA’s Earth Science Division (ESD) leadership team will present an update of status and plans, with significant time for discussion with the audience. Topics of discussion will include status of operating and future satellite missions; implementation of competed activities; evolution of and plans for research, applied sciences, data, and technology elements; contribution to interagency and international Earth observation and global change programs, and response to and preparation for community-based guiding documents. The session comes at the conclusion of A Year of Open Science and will discuss NASA's open science activities from 2023.
