Equipped with four instruments, the Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) satellite mission has been designed to make a range of different measurements that together will shed new light on the role that clouds and aerosols play in regulating Earth’s climate.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has recently tested two innovative tools designed to enhance wildfire detection and response. These tools, part of NOAA's Next Generation Fire System (NGFS), were evaluated during a week-long series of simulations at the new Fire Weather Testbed in Boulder, Colorado. The goal: to accelerate and improve the accuracy of wildfire detection and warning capabilities across the United States.

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) technologies are now ubiquitous in everyday life: they are incorporated in electronic devices and are used by the public, surveyors, and geoscientists on a regular basis. In developing countries in particular, GNSS applications offer cost-effective solutions that make it possible to foster economic and social development without neglecting the need to preserve the environment, thus promoting sustainable development.
