This proposal relates to two of the eight application areas: water quality and public health. In the Northeastern United States, climate change scenarios typically indicate an increase in overall precipitation, which would lead to larger river discharge. Increased discharge would then lead to greater pathogen...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has developed a Decision Support System (DSS) under the Coral Reef Watch (CRW) program to forecast environmental stress in coral reef ecosystems around the world. This DSS uses models and 50 km Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)...

Agricultural productivity is strongly dependent on the availability of water. As the world's food supply continues to be taxed by population growth, increasing demand, and rapidly developing economies, a greater percentage of arable land will need to be utilized and land currently producing food must...

The current escalation of energy costs has emphasized the need to seek alternative sources of renewal energy. Development of biofuel from corn, soybeans and other non-grain annuals is one of the priorities for the agricultural industry. Due to increase in commodity prices, there is a...

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...
