NSPIRES Solicitation for Global Climate Change Education (GCCE): research experiences, modeling & data opportunities

NSF enhanced support for interdisciplinary research using multi-scale modeling

NASA and USGS are pleased to announce that the global land survey (GLS) 2005 dataset is now essentially complete and can be downloaded from GLOVIS. 140 images remain to be added over Indonesia and Brazil.

A Ph.D. assistantship is available for an interdisciplinary study of land use and land cover change modeling and the relative influence of climate variability and land use change on hydrologic dynamics of a Rocky Mountain Watershed.

Biology-Ecology (MS and PhD) and Geology (MS) are available for Fall 2010 in the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Toledo.

This product offers the capacity for users to upload, query (by themes and geographically), and download geo-referenced field photos in the library.

This database contains a set of derived parameters including screen-height max/min air temperatures, vegetation optical depth, fractional open water cover, freeze/thaw status, atmospheric water vapor content and surface soil moisture. The data are posted to a 25-km global EASE-grid projection.

The goal of the project is to investigate the relationship between changes in lake and wetland extent and the regional carbon balance in northern Eurasia over the last half-century, and to predict the likely impacts of changes in lake and wetland extent on the carbon balance in this region over the next century. Our approach is to develop a historical time series of observed lake and wetland extent via a combination of high resolution, slow-repeat-cycle SAR data (primarily from ALOS/PALSAR) and low-resolution, fast-repeat-cycle passive microwave data (primarily from AMSR-E).
