  2. Discussion • NASA Earth Systems Science • Science Drivers • Enabling Technology • Decision Support Applications • Public Health Applications • Collaboration with AFPMB • Vector-borne disease • Malaria

  3. NASA Enterprises NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION HUMAN EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF SPACE BIOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL RESEARCH EARTH SCIENCE ENTERPRISE SPACE SCIENCE ENTERPRISE AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY

  4. Earth System Science Variability: How is the global Earth system changing?Forcing: What are the primary causes of change in the Earth system?Response: How does the Earth system respond to natural and human- induced changes?Consequences: What are the consequences of changes in the Earth system for human civilization?Prediction: How well can we predict future changes to the Earth system?

  5. Technology Remote Sensing Data Communication Computation Orbital, Air, and Ground Missions Data Processing & Predictive Modeling Data Delivery Systems

  7. Decision Support Applications

  8. Systems Engineering Approach

  9. Applications of National Priority Carbon Management Aviation Energy Management Water Management Coastal Management Homeland Security Disaster Management Public Health Ecological Forecasting Invasive Species Air Quality Agricultural Efficiency

  10. Example: Rift Valley Fever Predicting regional outbreaks of RVF using satellite data on rainfall, ENSO and vegetation

  11. Example: Lyme Disease Identifying vector-friendly environmental conditions using satellite data on rainfall, vegetation, proximity to settlements

  12. Example: Malaria Satellite & meteor. data Microepidemiology data Local environment Population database Landcover Dwelling Host behaviors Vector control Vector ecology Medical care Primary schizogony Sporozoites Hypnozoites  relapses Asexual erythrocytic cycle Oocysts VECTOR HUMAN Fertilization Gametocytes PARASITE • blood meal • oviposition • eggs • larvae • pupae • adults • destroyed • pre-patent • incubation • delay • treatment • infectious • relapse • immunity Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3 Spatio-temporal distribution of disease cases Identifying key factors that sustain or intensify transmission Risk prediction Habitat identification Textural-contextual classifications significantly increase landcover mapping accuracy using high resolution data such as Ikonos. Nonparametric model computes the likelihood of disease outbreak using meteorological and epidemiological time series as input. Discrete Wavelet Transform is used to differentiate confusion vegetation types. Wavelet Transform and Hilbert-Huang Transform Empirical Mode Decomposition identify the driving variables that lead to disease outbreaks and provide more accurate predictions. Evaluated Thail military airborne data and established neural network rectification capability. Richard.Kiang@nasa.gov

  14. Decision Support

  15. We have resources, we need a beneficiary. • WHO? Decision makers • medical • logistics • WHAT? Decisions • force deployment and placement • anti-malarial resources • HOW? Decision support tools • software / algorhythm • protocol • advisory / committee • WHY? Performance Measures • dosages • percent readiness • SO WHAT? Benefits • costs • morbidity • mortality • national security
