Predicting Right Whale Distributions from Space: An Operational System for Marine Ecosystem Modeling
Principal Investigator
Andrew J Pershing
The northern right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) is the most endangered marine mammal currently being protected under United States environmental regulations. The primary cause of human-induced mortality in this species is through entanglement with fishing gear and collisions with ships. Management of this species is the...

This proposal aims to expand a lake and reservoir monitoring program. This program is on-line, operational, with an existing decision support system (DSS) in place. Currently the products are surface water level variations derived from the NASA/CNES Topex/Jason series of satellite radar altimetry missions (1992-present...

This proposal seeks funds to enhance and expand a satellite-based, near-real time, reservoir and lake water-level monitoring system. This system is on-line, operational, existing within the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) decision support system (DSS) through the cooperative USDA/NASA Global Agricultural Monitoring (GLAM) program. Current...

It is the purpose of this project to employ satellite data in the State Implementation Plan (SIP) modeling process, which defines emission reduction strategies to bring air-pollution levels into compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Nationally, tens of billions of dollars in...
