Climate models have consistently projected a drying trend in the southwestern United States, aiding speculation of increasing dust storms in this region. Newly reconstructed long-term dust climatology reveals direct evidence of rapid intensification of dust storm activity over… Read More Principal Investigator: Matthew Oliver
Proposals that respond to section 3.1.1 (Remote Sensing as a Catalyst for Large-scale Conservation) should link natural seascapes to large-scale conservation using satellite imagery to enable conservation planning with end-user organizations. End users should have enhanced tools for… Read More Principal Investigator: Benjamin F Zaitchik
The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), and downstream areas in South Asia, experience some of the most significant sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) variability on Earth. The South Asian monsoon is both the lifeblood of the region and a source of significant hazard. Its precipitation sustains… Read More Principal Investigator: Solomon Dobrowski
Increasing temperatures, as well as more severe and frequent droughts and fires, has led to recruitment failure in semi-arid forests in the western US. The project team analyzes satellite Earth observations and climate factors to identify optimal reforestation sites. Since… Read More

A lack of timely and accurate information on crop conditions and prospects is a critical issue in the majority of south and east African countries. Such information are necessary for informed and prompt decision making in the face of emergencies, food insecurity and planning… Read More Principal Investigator: Niall Hanan
For this SERVIR Applied Science Team (AST) project we propose to work with the new West Africa SERVIR region on remote sensing and analysis relating to food security (Thematic Service Area 1) and land use and ecosystems (Thematic Service Area 3). We propose applications that… Read More Principal Investigator: Peter Potapov
Spatially explicit information on land cover and land use extent and change is required for national and regional land use planning and management, water use monitoring,greenhouse gas emissions estimation in the context of IPCC and REDD+ agreements, and nature conservation strategy… Read More Principal Investigator: Alyssa Whitcraft
