Empowering Communities: How Earth Science Satellites Shape a Brighter Future

Unlocking a Sustainable Future: NASA-French Earth Science Satellite to Revolutionize Water Management

Embark on a journey of scientific innovation as we delve into the groundbreaking collaboration between NASA and the French space agency, Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES). This remarkable Earth science mission is poised to transform the way communities plan for a brighter future.

Discover how the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission will revolutionize water management by meticulously surveying the globe's salt and freshwater bodies. SWOT's advanced technology will measure water levels in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and oceans, offering a critical understanding of our changing planet.

As the impacts of climate change continue to reshape the water cycle, the significance of SWOT's data becomes paramount. Explore how this mission will enhance flood forecasts and drought monitoring, providing invaluable insights to water management agencies, civil engineers, universities, the U.S. Department of Defense, and disaster preparedness entities.

In this video, we delve into the real-world applications of SWOT data, featuring insights from diverse voices. Hear from a National Weather Service representative in Oregon, an Alaska Department of Transportation engineer, researchers from the University of Oregon and University of North Carolina, a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientist collaborating with the Department of Defense, and a JPL scientist working alongside the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Agency.

Witness the transformative power of science and innovation as we unravel how the SWOT mission empowers communities worldwide to navigate the challenges of a changing environment. Join us in embracing a future where knowledge shapes action and sustainability reigns supreme.
