Earth Science Applications Week is almost here! Organized by the NASA Earth Applied Sciences Program, the virtual event highlights experts and end-users from within and outside NASA, speaking about everything from space-borne to boots-on-the-ground solutions to our planet's most pressing concerns.

Join NASA’s Earth Applied Sciences Disasters program area as our scientists and researchers highlight Disasters Applications in a special hour-long session at 2 p.m. EDT, Thursday, Aug. 11.

Conflict, war, and forced displacement affect millions of people each year and have immediate and long-term consequences for human health and development. Analysis with NASA satellite imagery can help target humanitarian response and relief by offering a timely understanding of region-specific environmental conditions and change, and through capturing contextual information over broad geographic regions and time spans.

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) now offers a 4-part series on using NASA data products for monitoring human settlements and landscapes during armed conflict and forced displacement.

As we approach Earth Science Applications Week, remember to download NASA Applied Sciences first-ever Earth Science Applications Guidebook. With interactive and multimedia content, it synthesizes best practices and useful guidance in working with user communities and developing applications to inform decision-making.
