An initiative involving multiple partners across Australia to establish a comprehensive ground-to-space national water quality monitoring system to safeguard freshwater and coastal resources and grow Australia’s high-tech space industry. This will include an extensive network of EO satellites and ground-based sensors. The concept is being demonstrated with existing data streams through national and international pilot sites including in the US (California). Contributes to the GEO Aquawatch and involves an international science advisory group including scientists from USGS and other US partners.
A cloud-based data analytics platform based on the Australian innovation “Australian Geoscience Data Cube” which became the international Open Data Cube (opendatacube.org) concept with partners NASA, USGS, UK Catapult, CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites).
Current EASI projects overseas in Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, US (California), Chile and Colombia. Exploring opportunities to commercialize the technology.
The Copernicus Australasia Regional Data Hub (the Hub) supports the European Union’s Copernicus Programme. It covers a Region of Interest (ROI) consisting of Australasia, South-East Asia, the South Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and the Australian Antarctic Territory.
The Hub was built as a first port of call for bulk government and scientific research users. It was established under a series of partnership agreements including:
consortium partners that finance the operations and management
delivery partners that provide data syncing and distribution across the globe
supporting partners that facilitate free access to the data
An operating SAR satellite mission relying on an international partnership already between Aus (CSIRO), the UK (SSTL), India (ISRO), and the Philippines. CSIRO owns 10% capacity share of the mission. Allows Australia to have direct control over the tasking of the satellite. Opens R&D and applications opportunities in tropical areas (Pacific, Indian Oceans) and with new S-band SAR instruments.
Provision of calibration and validation infrastructure and services that make it possible for international partners to maintain the quality of their satellite data. Ensuring the quality and integrity of satellite Earth observations is identified as a focus segment in the Australian Space Agency Earth Observation Roadmap.
The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network Extensive (www.tern.org.au/) is part of the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy and provides ongoing ecosystem measurements for ecosystems across Australia for the validation and production of continental-scale EO products.
Tellus is a satellite data platform enabling users to use large amount of satellite data and to build their applications in the cloud. Government satellite data (ALOS, ASTER, ASNARO etc.), commercial satellite data and various ground data etc. are available. (*Some commercial data are paid.
NASA has more than two dozen Earth and climate satellites and instruments, including on the International Space Station, measuring the height of oceans and inland waters, clouds and precipitation, carbon dioxide, and much more.
NOAA currently owns and operates nine Earth Observation satellites (Four geostationary (GOES-14, -15, -16 and -17); Four polar-orbiting (NOAA-15, -18, -19 and -20) and DSCOVR, in deep space). NOAA does not own, but operates an additional seven satellites.
Through established partnerships, NOAA shares operational execution and exploitation with partner EO satellites. NOAA also shares ground system assets for operational use.
The Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP) supports the Direct Broadcast (DB) meteorological and environmental satellite community through the packaging and distribution of open source science software. CSPP supports DB users of NOAA polar orbiting and geostationary satellite data processing and regional real-time applications through distribution of free open source software, and through training in local product applications. Critical products include fire detection, flood mapping, and air quality products. Provides the lowest latency possible. There is a list of products on the website.

DEVELOP, part of NASA’s Applied Sciences Program, addresses environmental and public policy issues through interdisciplinary research projects that apply the lens of NASA Earth observations to community concerns around the globe. Bridging the gap between NASA Earth Science and society, DEVELOP builds capacity in both participants and partner organizations to better prepare them to address the challenges that face our society and future generations. With the competitive nature and growing societal role of science and technology in today’s global workplace, DEVELOP is fostering an adept corps of tomorrow’s scientists and leaders.
A worldwide program that brings together students, teachers, scientists and citizens to promote science and learning about the environment. Through a hands-on approach to inquiry, participants are encouraged to engage in local investigations that cover five core fields: atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, soil (pedosphere), and Earth as a system. Observations made locally are submitted to the GLOBE data and information system, and can be accessed freely online. These measurements are combined with readings at automated stations to create a worldwide resource for conducting scientific inquiry; some measurements serve as ground truth for NASA satellite data products (e.g., clouds, soil moisture). The GLOBE data and information system contains over 130 million measurements from more than 10 million students in 113 countries around the world since its operation begun in 1995.
South/Southeast Asia Research Initiative(LCLUC / SARI)
【Description】
The NASA South/Southeast Asia Research Initiative (SARI) aims to promote and support innovative regional research, education, and capacity building, involving state-of-the-art remote sensing, natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences to enrich Land Cover/Land Use Change (LCLUC) science in South and Southeast Asia. SARI’s activities helped accumulate significant information on the past and ongoing changes in land use and land cover, monitoring capabilities from space, and developed methods to analyze scenarios for future changes related to climate crisis. Additionally, SARI also promotes building regional capacity of remote sensing applications in South and Southeast Asia.

Earthdata Search provides easy-to-use access to EOSDIS services for Earth science data discovery, filtering, visualization, and access. Earthdata Search allows users to search, preview, and download Earth observation data through these services. Earthdata Search uses the Common Metadata Repository (CMR) for sub-second search across the EOSDIS metadata catalog and simpler, faster access to faceted metadata.
NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) provide center-unique tools for functions such as searching and subsetting data. The links provided via this site list and describe some of these available data-handling and service tools.
