University of Kansas researchers unveiled Sentinel GreenReport Plus — a free web app using high-res satellite data to monitor vegetation, drought, and crop health across the U.S., helping farmers, researchers, and policymakers make data-informed decisions.
With flooding and heatwaves on the rise, certain vulnerable communities must learn to expect the unexpected, say Tufts researchers.
Growing up with water scarcity in rural Bangladesh inspired Jobayer Hossain’s PhD research at Arizona State University. Now honored as Outstanding Graduate, he aims to build global solutions for water access through social infrastructure and community resilience.
Arizona State University researchers developed WARM, a new sensor-based system that detects wildfire risks near power lines and helps prevent mass outages. Backed by NSF, it’s ready for real-world use.
From AI-powered hurricane forecasts to real-time wildfire detection, UW–Madison’s CIMSS is turning satellite data into life-saving tools — improving disaster response, aviation safety, and severe weather alerts across the U.S.
MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s NICS platform is now used worldwide to help first responders coordinate during disasters. Originally built for wildfires, it now supports crises from floods to pandemics — improving communication, situational awareness, and lives saved.
Rice postdoc Marc-Ansy Laguerre is helping improve Haiti’s earthquake resilience by researching low-cost retrofits for vulnerable buildings. His work offers a roadmap for safer construction and disaster preparedness.
A new Rice University report finds over half of Houston-area workers lost income from 2024 storms. Power outages, food loss, and property damage compounded financial stress — with many residents facing lasting hardship as hurricane season returns.
