Interns are a regular part of the IMPACT team. Again and again, interns have brought significant value to IMPACT projects with their fresh perspectives, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn. Their unique outlooks challenge established patterns and can lead to creative problem-solving and innovative solutions. These IMPACT interns also infuse teams…

Last summer, we introduced the Algorithm Publication Tool (APT): an authoring, publishing, and central repository environment for creating Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBDs). These documents are needed for communicating the theory behind some of the NASA data products available to users. Since then, the APT team has added several new…

Less than seven months after a public/private partnership was forged between IBM Research and NASA IMPACT, the largest ever open-source geospatial AI foundation model (FM) has been released. AI foundation models are pre-trained on large datasets with self-supervised learning techniques. They provide flexible base models that can be fine-tuned for…

It’s time for high fives and fist bumps at IMPACT. After four years of planning, building, and refining, the Airborne Data Management Group (ADMG) within IMPACT reached a major milestone in their efforts to develop a centralized web interface for users to rapidly access information and data products acquired by…

Three IMPACT-led teams are convening sessions that resonate with the American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) 2023 fall meeting theme: Wide. Open. Science. These sessions will be accepting abstracts until August 2, 2023 at 10:59 CST. See below for detailed information about each session and abstract submission links. Kaylin Bugbee, team lead…

IMPACT team members John Mandel, Muthukumaran Ramasubramanian, Iksha Gurung, and Slesa Adhikari will be convening sessions at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2023 conference in San Francisco, CA. All four sessions are seeking relevant abstract submissions. The AGU abstract due date is August 2, 2023 at 10:59 CST. Further details…
