Projects

Deploying large networks of ground-based methane detectors could help detect pipeline leaks, improve climate models, and regulate emission sources.

With Alabama A&M University, we are identifying opportunities to apply new remote sensing concepts to improve groundwater measurements and models.  These models can inform decisions related to agriculture, land use, human health and wellness, and geopolitical stability.

We are developing a compact and encapsulated optical salinity sensor to enable more distributed and persistent monitoring of the ocean’s 3D structure.

We are developing a neural network using data derived from satellite measurements of temperature and humidity to improve drought monitoring and forecasting.

We are innovating and accelerating solutions to address AI's carbon footprint and reduce data center energy usage.  

We are designing a satellite-based lidar system to categorize aerosols in the atmosphere.

We are creating proactive, integrated decision -support tools and services that empower frontline communities to prepare for climate impacts and minimize losses.  

 We are developing deep learning  models  to analyze tornadic precursors in order to enhance real-time tornado prediction.   

We are investigating the use of novel imaging technologies for detecting and quantifying methane emissions in the atmosphere.

We are developing a sensor network to improve our understanding and monitoring of sea ice breakup in the rapidly changing Arctic region.
