Malaria is a leading cause of morbidity in Amazon-basin countries. Major challenges remain in targeting intervention and control strategies, particularly the distribution of health resources (treatments, diagnostics, and long-lasting impregnated nets) due to eco-social dynamics causing a disconnect between where people are infected and where...

A primary goal of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is to expand markets for U.S. agricultural products and support global economic development. The USDA World Agricultural Outlook Board (WAOB) supports this goal by developing monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) for the...

The purpose of this effort is to develop a deterministic model for predicting and simulating pollen emission and downwind concentration to study details of phenology and meteorology and their dependencies. We aim to develop a real time and rapid response pollen release and transport system...

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) are a global problem affecting public and environmental health. The goal of this project is to develop a capability, the Modeling and Forecasting System (M&FS), to identify, document, and climatologically forecast CyanoHABs in major water bodies to aid environmental and...

Nearly a quarter of California's fresh water supply flows through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, an area comprised of tidal marshland and reclaimed land in the form of islands surrounded by levees. The Delta is of critical importance to the state's water supply, contains premier agricultural...

This "Nile LDAS" will produce optimal estimates of hydrological states and fluxes, as vetted against the in situ observations of NBI and MWRI and against diagnostic ET and moisture estimates produced using the USDA's Atmosphere-Land Exchange Inverse (ALEXI) remote sensing technique. Together, Nile LDAS and...

The objective of this project is to initiate a SERVIR-like system utilizing NASA science research results for improved decision support for the continent of Africa. This project will be modeled after the highly successful NASA SERVIR system implemented in Central America (http://www.servir.net). We will partner...

To maintain our nation¿s environmental health, we must continually improve our ability to manage our natural resources in ways that sustain ecological function and protect biodiversity. As a result, USFWS and USGS recently partnered to create a Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) Framework, with the goal...

Ecosystems are in a state of flux due to changing climate. Informed management of species populations and the habitats upon which we all depend confronts us with tremendous and unfamiliar challenges. Migratory species are particularly vulnerable to climate impacts because critical life-history events track environmental...

Changes in global climate may significantly alter the circulation, biogeophysical processes, and biological productivity of marine ecosystems (IPCC 2007, Hoegh-Guldberg and Bruno 2010). These effects are expected to cascade up from changes in the physical environment to the bio-geophysical systems and then to top ocean...
