After the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in the Gorkha area of Nepal and the ensuing aftershocks, a secondary hazard is looming throughout the surrounding area: landslides.
In the near future, NASA and CNES, the French space agency, will debut a new satellite that many researchers believe could be a game changer in understanding and managing Earth's greatest resource: water.
Working in developing countries around the world, SERVIR seeks to incorporate regional knowledge and perspectives to best meet end user needs in addressing issues such as flood forecasting, forest fire management, landslide hazard, agricultural monitoring, and biomass estimation.
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), the SERVIR-Himalaya host organization, earned the Esri Humanitarian GIS Award on 20 July 2015 for their contribution to the Nepalese government's disaster response efforts following the recent earthquakes in the country.
