Following the unprecedented flooding events of 2016 and 2018 in Ellicott City, Maryland, a team at DEVELOP Goddard is creating a tool using satellite data to help the Howard County Office of Emergency Management prepare for the next flood.
Congratulations to Darcy Gray and Ryan Slapikas for being selected as the fall 2019 DEVELOPers of the Term!
The conservation of crop wild relatives was the subject of a project undertaken by researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) in Fort Collins, CO. The NPGS partnered with the NASA DEVELOP Program to determine whether the use of NASA Earth Observations could enhance distribution models to support conservation efforts.
DEVELOP publishes a “Virtual Poster Session” each term. Each VPS includes project videos highlighting the teams’ work and the many application of NASA Earth observations for societal benefit. Check it out!
