Background: When data from different platforms are used synergistically, their strengths can be capitalized upon by minimizing errors from individual platforms. As an example, integration...

Responses to recent great earthquakes and ensuing tsunamis in Sumatra, Chile and Japan with the severe loss of life, massive damage to infrastructure, and major...

Responses to great earthquakes and ensuing tsunamis over the last decade in Sumatra, Chile and Japan with the severe loss of life, massive damage to...

When an earthquake occurs, seismic data provides an initial estimate of magnitude and location. However, for large earthquakes, we can improve our situational awareness once...

Volcanic eruptions are among the most significant hazards to human society, capable of triggering natural disasters on regional and global scales. Recent eruptions also indicated...

NASA Applications Program support to a group led by one of us (Policelli), has resulted in initial production and ongoing publication of an automated, near...

We propose to apply a new regression tree algorithm (as demonstrated in Sun and Yu, 2010; Sun et al., 2011) for the retrieval of water...

The proposal examines the feasibility of using NASA and other satellite observations in regional operational flash-flood warning and response systems worldwide, and assesses any resultant...

Conservation International has developed a suite of near real-time fire and deforestation monitoring and forecasting systems that channel satellite observations directly to national and sub-national...
