NASA's Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation Structure and Storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats, or TROPICS, mission is a constellation of small satellites that will measure temperature and moisture profiles and precipitation in tropical systems with unprecedented temporal frequency. These data will enable scientists to study the dynamic processes that occur in the inner core of the storm resulting in rapid genesis and intensification."

As part of a joint NASA/JPL response, ImageCat produced a series of EO products that chronicled the devastation caused by the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake. Dr. Alanna Simpson of the World Bank quoted, "the products that were produced by the joint ImageCat and NASA/JPL team, including the estimates of rebuilding costs, were helpful in scoping the magnitude of the disaster in the days following the earthquake and in setting up the Post Disaster Needs Assessment."

Applying a methodology developed under a NASA ROSES grant, ImageCat and key partner CIESIN generated datasets that helped to measure population, economic and physical exposure in 8 Sub-Saharan Africa nations. This information is being used to estimate expected socioeconomic losses from a number of natural physical phenomena under the World Bank's GFDRR Disaster Risk Financing Program.

The Event-Driven Data Delivery (ED3) framework automatically collected information relevant to April's severe flood events in the South-Central U.S. and generated a corresponding event album. The image above depicts information from a few selections from the album for this flood event. Event albums are available in GeoRSS format for interoperability with many GIS and visualization applications.
