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.
