The lead of IMPACT’s Airborne Data Management Group, Deborah Smith, is co-convening two sessions at AGU’s 2022 Fall Meeting focused on the use of airborne Earth observation data: These two sessions are aimed at bringing greater awareness and discussion of airborne and field data issues and solutions. One focuses on…

IMPACT team members Muthukumaran R. and Aaron Kaulfus will be convening sessions on AI while Manil Maskey, Iksha Gurung, Lillianne Thomas, and Slesa Adhikari will co-convene sessions on the same topic at the American Geophysical Union 2022 Conference #AGU22 in Chicago. All sessions are seeking abstracts. The submission deadline is…

IMPACT team members Ge Peng, Brian Freitag, and Aimee Barciauskas will be co-convening sessions on informatics at the American Geophysical Union 2022 Conference #AGU22 in Chicago. Both sessions are seeking abstract submissions. The submission deadline is August 3, 2022. …

IMPACT’s Airborne Data Management Group (ADMG) works to make the vast stores of NASA airborne and field Earth observation data more discoverable for researchers and the general public. ADMG serves as a knowledge base for airborne and field, or “suborbital”, data users, producers, and stewards. The group supports many disciple-specific…

Vantage point is everything when assessing forest fires and planning effective containment plans. And there is no better vantage point than space for grasping the extent of large fires in remote areas. IMPACT, through its leadership role in the Harmonized Landsat/Sentinel-2 (HLS) project, was instrumental to a recent enhancement of…

The past decade has witnessed an explosion in the launch of privately-owned, commercial Earth-observing (EO) satellites. One company, Planet, alone has a fleet of active satellites that number over 200. In 2021, a single launch of a SpaceX Falcon rocket delivered 143 payloads into orbit (story here). …

Last year we posted about the pyQuARC tool, an open source library for Earth observation metadata quality assessment that assists data curators in assessing the correctness, completeness, and consistency of NASA’s Earth observation metadata. The functionality of the tool continues to be refined and expanded. …
