Landsat Satellite Imagery Used to Assess the Impact of Myanmar’s Cyclone Nargis Posted on May 09, 2008
USGS is providing Landsat satellite imagery to aid rescue and recovery efforts in Myanmar in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis's landfall on May 3. International emergency response teams are using the Landsat images to assess the extent of flood damage caused by the cyclone in the affected region.
Antarctic Ice Shelf Disintegration Underscores a Warming World Satellite imagery shows collapse Posted on March 26, 2008
Satellite imagery from the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder reveals that a 13,680 square kilometer (5,282 square mile) ice shelf has begun to collapse because of rapid climate change in a fast-warming region of Antarctica.
New Method to Estimate Sea Ice Thickness Posted on March 10, 2008
Scientists recently developed a new modeling approach to estimate sea ice thickness. This is the only model based entirely on historical observations. The model was developed by scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey and the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow.
I recently had the pleasure to take part in a site visit to NOAA's David Skaggs Research center in Boulder, Colorado. This tour was part of the GIS in the Rockies off site visits planned by the conference organizers. This facility is home to many of the country's top scientists.

Fire Management Professionals Look to WFRAS For Fire Mitigation And Avoidance Posted on August 04, 2004 As any forest landowner or manager knows, our national forest assets are extremely vulnerable to fire. Urban expansion and encroachment on previously pristine wildlands causes the risk of property damage and loss of life to increase each year. To combat this growing problem, those responsible for fire management are turning to a new generation of powerful analytical tools, powered by data from satellites and aerial sensors.
