NASA DEVELOP Summer 2022 Term at NCEI
NCEI continues its partnership with the NASA DEVELOP Program, working with early-career scientists and university students. This nationwide program uses NASA Earth observations to address diverse environmental issues impacting communities. At the DEVELOP location at NCEI, participants work on projects that focus primarily on climate applications and incorporate NCEI climate data. The NCEI teams also partner with the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), also known as Drought.gov, to support drought-focused projects each year. This summer, two groups at NCEI are using satellite data to inform agricultural management in the Mato Grosso region of Brazil and habitat monitoring in the western Sonoran Desert. Mato Grosso Agriculture Team The Mato Grosso Agriculture Team will use optical and radar satellite sensors to improve crop classification in the third-largest state in Brazil. The frequent dense cloud cover over the region makes crop monitoring difficult with optical imagery alone, so the team will fuse optical imagery, radar imagery, and topographic information to create enhanced crop classification maps. The team will work with the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service and the USDA World Agricultural Outlook Board to enhance commodity estimates and policy decisions for the region Elijah Dalton is a graduate of the University of North
