Applications of Satellite Remote Sensing

For NYC Climate Week 2021, a panel comprised of CIESIN researchers highlighted their recent work on mapping extreme heat in urban areas, assessing social vulnerability to flooding, and modeling climate-induced population displacement.

Part Two of a two-part training by NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET), “Introduction to Population Grids and their Integration with Remote Sensing Data for Sustainable Development and Disaster Management,” held March 30 and April 6, 2021. It was organized by CIESIN research scientist Susana Adamo on behalf of NASA’s Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) and the POPGRID Data Collaborative. Part Two,  “Population Grid Application Areas,” features case studies and lectures. 90-minute recording, Q and A transcript, and presentation slides are available.

It was organized by CIESIN research scientist Susana Adamo on behalf of NASA’s Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) and the POPGRID Data Collaborative. Part One,“Introduction to Population Grids and Their Uses,” introduces the POPGRID Data Collaborative, the origins of gridding, and its evolution to present day application areas in health, humanitarianism, development, and disaster risk reduction. 90-minute recording, Q and A transcript, and presentation slides are available.

This presentation by SEDAC deputy manager Alex de Sherbinin describes research he has conducted either using SEDAC data or to develop SEDAC-disseminated data sets. The lecture was given to the Pennsylvania State University Department of Geography coffee hour in February 2020.

Results of a NASA-funded pilot study to develop satellite-derived indicators in three issues areas—ambient air pollution, coastal eutrophication, and biomass burning—are presented NOvember 21, 2016, in the context of what makes an indicator that passes muster with policy and technical audiences, and the underlying satellite data and methodologies. Part of the monthly NASA Earthdata Webinar Series that highlights NASA EOSDIS data products and data access tools.
