  10. New Environmental Threats This visible image of the Gulf oil slick was taken on May 9, 2010, at 19:05 UTC (3:05 p.m. EDT) from MODIS aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. Crude oil brings volatile organic compounds into the air which can react with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone.

  11. Health & Air Quality Objectives: • NASA’s Health & Air Quality Applications Area supports the use of Earth observations in air quality management and public health, particularly regarding infectious disease and environmental health issues.  • The area addresses issues of toxic and pathogenic exposure and health-related hazards and their effects for risk characterization and mitigation.  • The area promotes uses of Earth observing data and models regarding implementation of air quality standards, policy, and regulations for economic and human welfare.  • The Health & Air Quality Applications Area also addresses effects of climate change on public health and air quality to support managers and policy makers in their planning and preparations.

  12. Major News Items in the ESD/ASP • Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS) launch to ISS on Jan. 10. • Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) launch on Feb. 11.

  14. FY16 Budget Request: Earth Science Freilich ESD budget increases significantly • NASA now has mandate for additional long-term measurements for the nation: • Altimetry after Jason-3 • Solar Irradiance, Ozone Profile, Earth Radiation Budget all starting in FY16 • Sustainable Land Imaging Program (w/USGS; NASA funds flight hardware): • TIR-FFD (2019) • Upgraded Landsat-9 (2023) • Focused technology development to inform designs of Landsat-10+ • Continued development and launch of: SAGE-III/ISS, ECOSTRESS/ISS, GEDI/ISS, CYGNSS, TEMPO, GRACE-FO, ICESat-2, SWOT, NISAR, PACE • Continue Venture Class on schedule with full funding • OCO-3 completion and flight to ISS in late 2017 • CLARREO Technology Demonstration instruments on ISS - development and flight in late 2019 (2 instruments, Reflected Solar/HySICS and IR Pathfinder)

  20. Call for Socio-Economic Impact Analysis Proposals • Call for proposals sent on August 10, 2015. • Proposals due on October 30, 2015. Proposals should be sent directly to the PM. Do NOT use NASA NSPIRES. • Proposal should indicate the value of an impact analysis to your project, as well as provide a detailed plan on how this analysis would be accomplished. This proposal should include key people, including people in addition to the original proposal, who may need to be obtained in order to insure success. These key people with appropriate expertise are encouraged to be from the fields of statistics and/or economics. If the original proposal contained a section on an impact assessment, then this proposal should expand on that original statement of interest and provide a more complete plan and approach. • One time funds of $250K will be granted as a budget supplemental for two projects.
