Real-time Fire Mapping and Satellite Data
New satellites and improved image processing methods are better enabling the ability to provide real-time and near real-time mapping of wildfires.
Forecasting Cholera Using Remote Sensing
The NASA cholera forecasting tool effectively takes satellite observations on environmental conditions and combines the data with information on infrastructure and conditions in a country.
Monitoring Algal Blooms with Remote Sensing
Given the importance of knowing how blooms affect aquatic life, remote sensing techniques using a variety of available imagery have been developed.
Measuring Vegetation from Satellite Imagery with NDVI
Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is a remote sensing technology that measures vegetation kinds and growth by measuring vegetation fingerprints.
