Discovering and Demonstrating Innovative and Practical Applications of Earth Science
Characterize project and decision making. Design analysis and assess information and available data.
Identify impact metrics (e.g., number of malaria cases per
thousand)
Collect data on impact metrics
prior to inclusion of Earth obs. info
Collect data on impact metrics after inclusion of Earth observations info

Malaria Early Warning Project: TheMalariaEarlyWarningSystem(MEWS)amalgamatesinformationfromawidevarietyofsourcestosupportmalariaprevention.
The project integrated NASA TRMM, Aqua, Landsat, and other satellite observations of precipitation, temperature, and other environmental variables into MEWS for Africa to improve malaria prevention and reduce morbidity and mortality.

The project integrated NASA MODIS and other remote sensing data into program to improve the timeliness and accuracy of BlueSky to support decisions on allowances of prescribed burns, analyze smoke emissions transport, and minimize smoke impacts on local communities.
