Beijing Air Quality - Students examined the steps China and the US Olympic Committee have taken to address air quality concerns in Beijing, China in preparation for the summer 2008 Olympic Games.

California Air Quality - Students compared ground data with NASA satellite data to look at air quality in the San Joaquin Valley.

CALIPSO Data Visualization Project - A multi-platform, deployable, observation tool was developed enabling the CALIPSO science team to display data from CALIPSO's active lidar instrument, CALIOP.

International Air Quality - Students utilized aerosol optical depth derived from the MODIS instrument to correlate with the ground-based AErosol RObotic NETwork AOD and compared to trends in the United States-Canada border region.

Mexico Air Quality - Atmospheric composition, aerosol optical depth, and air particle trajectories were analyzed to assess the agreement of instruments and models, as well as create a temporal analysis of air quality in Mexico City, Mexico and Houston, Texas.

PRECIP Disaster Management - DEVELOP interns teamed up with NOAA researchers to enhance their ongoing Pacific Region Integrated Climatology Products (PRICIP) project by integrating NASA mission data products.

Disaster Management via AWIPS II - Students demonstrated the feasibility of developing a plug-in that will be integrated into the AWIPS II system. This plug-in will allow the AWIPS II ADE 1.0 to ingest and display NASA data in HDF-5 format.

Gulf Coast Disaster Management - Students Utilized NASA data from Earth observation systems to improve present hurricane damage detection capabilities.

Thermal Anomalies Disaster Management - This study extended previous research to statistically explore the possible relationship between seismic event processes and atmospheric thermal anomalies.

Space Weather & Aviation - Students utilized outputs from the Global Assimilative Ionospheric Model (GAIM) to produce visuals of space weather events in the ionosphere.

Pacific Northwest Energy Management - Students utilized NASA Earth observation systems data to enhance methods used to predict peak stream flow for managing dams.

California Ecologial Forecasting - Students identified anomalous events in Yosemite National Park to assist park managers in improving forest health management.

California Ecologial Forecasting - Students examined the impact of NASA data sets on the Coastal Upwelling Index.

Georgia Coastal Management - The goal of this study was to monitor and estimate the amount of sediment deposited into the Savannah River and to track the amount of terrigenous sediments transported to the ocean from the river.

Virginia Climate Change - Students focused on how global climate change affects the Hampton Roads area, and the relationship to public health and coastal water management.

Alabama Public Health - Students demonstrated how NASA Earth observation measurements can assist local policy-makers determine mosquito control plans.

Data Processing - Students formatted NASA data sets to be used as inputs for predictive models.

Information Technology - Students maintained the technical assets of the DEVELOP center.
