An Ocean Breeze: Mapping Brazil’s Offshore Wind Power Potential Felipe Pimenta, a doctoral student in oceanography at the University of Delaware, used NASA satellite data to estimate the potential for wind power generation off the Brazilian coast.

Notes from the Field Mini stories and scientist profiles that show how Applied Science work is done and what it accomplishes.

Upcoming Events NASA Biodiversity and Ecological Forecasting Team Meeting Principal Investigators involved in the NASA Biodiversity program or the NASA Ecological Forecasting program are meeting during the first week of May to discuss current projects and the future of the programs.

NASA produces research results, such as observations from satellites, predictions from models, and knowledge from scientific research. These research results have the potential to serve society beyond their intended purpose of answering pressing Earth system science questions.

NASA’s Applied Sciences Program systematically evaluates the potential of these research results to serve society by conducting projects with regional and national scale operational partners. The partners have the responsibility to provide information to decision makers for a specific aspect of the Earth system. These projects address NASA’s areas of National Applications.
