The Application of Earth Observations for Assessing Waterborne Disease Risk Waterborne diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, hepatitis A, typhoid, and polio are caused by contaminated drinking water and poor sanitation (World Health Organization). Inadequate management of urban, industrial, and agric...

Landslide Monitoring and Risk Assessment Using NASA Earth System Data This three-part introductory training will cover a number of topics relating to landslides, demonstrating a wide variety of NASA Earth science data uses to characterize landslides and their impacts. The training will provide the ...

Earth Observations of Blue Carbon Ecosystems This training builds from a series of previous trainings on Remote Sensing of Coastal Ecosystems, Remote Sensing of Mangroves, Remote Sensing of Greenhouse Gases, and Remote Sensing of Carbon Monitoring for Terrestrial Ecosystems to provide a comprehensi...

Methane Observations for Large Emission Event Detection and Monitoring While carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities, methane is estimated around 80 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere on a 20 year timescale. Methane is an attractive t...

An Introduction to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Its Applications Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has the capability to observe the Earth's surface both day and night and through most weather conditions, making it an ideal sensor to support a wide range of science and applications. Additionally...

Introduction to Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Hyperspectral Observations for Water Quality Monitoring Water quality monitoring in coastal ocean estuaries and inland lakes is critical for ecosystems and fisheries management and safe drinking water. Remote sensing of water quality ...

Invasive Species Monitoring with Remote Sensing Invasive species costs the U.S. economy billions of dollars a year and can cause declines in ecosystem health. NASA data can be used to identify the impacts of invasive species including the extent, potential distribution, and impacts to affected ecos...

NASA Atmospheric Composition Ground Networks Supporting Air Quality and Climate Applications In this five-part, online, intermediate-level training, multiple NASA networks will participate and provide training on their atmospheric composition ground networks. These networks provide data relevant to...

Drought Monitoring, Prediction, and Projection using NASA Earth System Data The United Nations has documented that drought frequency and duration have increased globally since 2000. According to this report 2.3 billion people around the world are currently facing water stress. Although droughts onl...
