Emerging Earth Science Technologies in Disaster Risk Management: Prototype and Assessment
Completed
TRL 5 (started at 2, targeting 5)
Description
Examine emerging technologies and assess their potential to dramatically change the utility and impact of satellite data for GEOSS societal benefits • Investigate the feasibility of a Volunteered Cloud Computing (VCC) concept with application to Disaster Risk Management (DRM). • Characterize the role and benefits of several emerging earth science information technologies in DRM (e.g., smallsats, mobile apps, etc.). • Provide recommendations and technology road maps for ESTO, CEOS, and GEO/GEOSS.
Benefits
Cross-cutting

How to get involved
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 5) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
