Special issue : Advanced remote sensing methods for monitoring and analyzing impacts of natural disasters on land cover and land use.

This Special Issue is devoted to the cutting-edge field of advanced remote sensing methods applied to monitor and analyze the intricate impacts of natural disasters on land cover and land use processes. In an era marked by an increasing severity of disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires, extreme droughts, and landslides, leveraging technological advancements becomes paramount in understanding, assessing, and responding to the dynamic changes in terrestrial ecosystems.

Important: Updated Deadline Compliance for No-Cost Extension Requests

Important: Updated Deadline Compliance for No-Cost Extension Requests

Principal Investigators (PIs) must ensure submitting requests for No-Cost Extension (NCE) prior to the end of the project's period of performance (POP). It is crucial to adhere to this rule to prevent NCE requests from being denied. Failure to do so can lead to non-compliance issues, as demonstrated by a recent denial from the NSSC Grants Activities Branch. Since January 2024, the NSSC has started rejecting grantee requests for No-Cost Extensions (NCEs) for a variety of reasons.
