NASA Global Drought Monitoring Workshop
April 11th-12th, 2011
Silver Spring, MD
Dr. Shawana Johnson, GISP, President, Global Marketing Insights, Inc. attended and presented during the NASA Global Drought Monitoring Workshop held April 11th-12th, 2011.
Workshop Objectives:
Review the information requirements for global-scale, drought monitoring products for global and regional applications
- To evaluate the information value of NASA capabilities and explore ways in which these capabilities can be used more effectively to inform water security/management concerns at global to sub-continent scales
- To assess the specific requirements for monitoring agricultural and hydrological droughts and the capabilities of the current suite of NASA data products to provide that information
- To develop a set of actions that would enable NASA, either separately or in collaboration with other organizations, to more effectively impact drought information for decision making
Dr. Johnson's, presentation titled, "NASA Sensor and Multiple Sensor Integration optimized in a Supercomputing Environment to develop a Predictive Analytical Platform for Drought Monitoring and Land Cover" reviews ways in which utilizing a high performance computing cloud (HPC Cloud) to perform project work which requires extremely difficult computational analytics necessary for hosting and managing multiple satellite sensor datasets needed for (near) real-time data assimilation products can be accomplished.

Global Marketing Insights, Inc. presented in the "Emerging Technology” and "Virtual Research” tracks.
The first presentation titled, "Successful Global Food Security Inter-Agency Project Leads to Cloud Computing Model to Address Analytical Difficulties Utilizing Multiple Satellite Sensor Datasets", discussed in detail how this task was successfully accomplished by placing the multiple data sets data in a secure, interoperable cloud at The Rocky Mountain Super Computing Centers, Inc. (RMSC) with data ingest and analysis performed by GCS Research for the USDA utilizing NASA data.Click Here to View Presentation
The second presentation titled, “GOOGLE EARTH” utilized for USGS 2008-2018 African Remote Sensing Research” providing the basis for developing countries to complete GIS and Remote Sensing community updates. The presentation provides a descriptive overview of how the USGS 2008-2018 African Remote Sensing Market Research Survey project gave GMI the ability to highlight the research results on a web-enabled interactive Google Earth Map to allow participants to "click and view" the study highlights by country in both Africa and South America, AND to complete a survey directly from the map site for updated information on their country to ensure near real-time accurate inputs. To date, over 450 participants from the user population have responded through these on-line maps with 25 in-country partners, research institutions and collaborators providing input as well.
