The Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region is no stranger to water- and weather-induced hazards. Every year, these disasters result in loss of lives, livelihoods, and damage to infrastructure throughout HKH countries.
A single desert locust can consume its body weight in vegetation in one day. When 40 million of them gather, they can devour as much food as 35,000 people.
SERVIR-HKH has developed the Air Quality Explorer for the HKH using freely available satellite data and the Google Earth Engine platform. The application allows visualization of three atmospheric parameters — nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) — for any chosen period and location.
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) has been implementing the SERVIR-HKH Initiative — one of five regional hubs of the SERVIR network — in its Regional Member Countries, prioritizing capacity building and science activities in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan.
A recent NASA article highlighted Applied Sciences Team Principal Investigator Dr. Evan Thomas and the Drought Resilience Impact Platform (DRIP).
SERVIR is stepping in to explore how Earth observations can provide reliable sources of data on growing conditions to inform the design and implementation of gender-responsive, index-based insurance in East Africa.
The Crop Monitoring and Assessment service enhances the use of geospatial information to develop sustainable methods and tools which will improve the quality of agricultural statistics for major staple crops based on the integral use of Earth Observation (EO) technologies.
The Regional Drought Monitoring and Outlook System (RDMOS) was developed to help predict, mitigate, and adequately respond to drought vulnerabilities in the HKH region.
This service improves air quality monitoring through a web-based dashboard that was developed that utilizes publicly available observation data, satellite-based remote sensing products, and atmospheric models.
