Earth observations provide the foundation for critical scientific advances and environmental data products derived from these observations are used in resource management and for an extraordinary range of societal applications including weather forecasts, climate projections, sea level change, water management, disease early warning, agricultural production, and the response to natural disasters. As the complexity of societal infrastructure and its vulnerability to environmental disruption increases, the demands for deeper scientific insights and more actionable information continue to rise. To serve these demands, NASA's ESD is challenged with optimizing the partitioning of its finite resources among measurements intended for exploring new science frontiers, carefully characterizing long-term changes in the Earth system, and supporting ongoing societal applications. This challenge is most acute in the decisions the Division makes between supporting measurement continuity of data streams that are critical components of Earth science research programs and the development of new measurement capabilities"--$cPublisher's description. 606 $aEarth sciences$xResearch$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aEarth sciences$xResearch 676 $a550.72 712 02$aNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).$bSpace Studies Board. 712 02$aNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).$bDivision on Engineering and Physical Sciences. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797980403321 996 $aContinuity of NASA earth observations from space$93736671 997 $aUNINA
