Fundamentals to Use Hyperspectral and Thermal NASA Earth Observations Webinar covering the fundamentals to work with NASA's high-spectral resolution land-based Earth observation data from NASA's EMIT, ECOSTRESS, and PACE missions. earthdata.nasa.gov/events/fundame…

New paper published today using ECOSTRESS to predict wildfire burn severity one week before occurrence across New Mexico. This paper also outlines a framework for using machine learning with these data and applications. nature.com/articles/s4159… @DrWKID

New paper using ECOSTRESS and machine learning that predicted Australia’s black summer fires a week ahead of occurrence, mostly using high resolution water use efficiency and evaporative stress data. …lpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… @zhu_yuanhui @yvonnemasara

New paper on the latest in science and applications synergies between high-resolution soil moisture and ET! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

1/ We're dedicating $100M to support American scientists facing funding cuts through the Lux Science Helpline, an expansion of our Lux Labs program. To compete in the future, innovation must be funded 🧪💡

The evidence- and project-based approach of instructional materials designed for “Observing Earth from Above,” offers a STEM Ed model that can transform students’ attitudes toward science, write researchers from @ChapmanU @Institute4Learn & @EcossNau. eos.org/science-update…

Work led by Robert Bogue linked to our ELEVATE project using geological CO2 as a natural FACE experiment. Trees got greener with more CO2. Biological CO2 sensors and data loggers! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Today I went to the OC Fire Authority Headquarters and Emergency Command Center. We learned about their critical information needs and how we can integrate our technology into their decision-support systems to optimize fire management and emergency response.

Hydrosat has been named one of TIME’s Top Greentech Companies of 2025! It’s validating to be recognized that our work is driving meaningful climate impact through innovation. time.com/collection/ame…

I'm very excited to share some of Hydrosat's new data from our first satellite! We really can get high resolution thermal (+VNIR) data from space at a very small fraction of the cost of traditional satellites. The future is bright for TIR remote sensing! hydrosat.com/2025/03/25/hyd…

You know why hurricanes have gotten less deadly over the past century? Not because they're less dangerous. Because scientists at NOAA have gotten really good at predicting their tacks, enabling people to get out of harm's way. Gutting NOAA will kill people.

I spent a week in New Mexico training >100 state, federal, & university employees on how to use a new tool we developed for managing H2O resources. A H2O manager said our system is a "game changer...that will revolutionize our work," potentially saving the State millions of $.

Data from ECOSTRESS played a significant role in the ability of machine learning algorithms to predict wildfire susceptibility. Results could help develop effective strategies for predicting, preventing, monitoring, and managing wildfires. doi.org/10.1002/rse2.4…
