From April 22 to 29th, SERVIR, the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, and the University of Alabama in Huntsville welcomed a delegation of Thai students and educators to Huntsville, Alabama for a week-long visit aimed at deepening the Discover Thailand's Astronauts Scholarship Program and U.S.-Thailand space collaborations.
Earlier this year, SERVIR welcomed two virtual interns from the University of Twente's International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation in Enschede, the Netherlands. The program, better known as ITC, is one of the world's leading geospatial education programs and is known for attracting students from around the world.
The Enabling Sustainable Landscape-Scale Agricultural Management through Fire and Air Quality Monitoring service guides authorities to regulate agriculture burning and manage forest fires using the Mekong Air Quality Explorer Tool.
Droughts in the Lower Mekong region cause significant environmental and economic impacts, including loss in agricultural productivity and decreased food and water security.
This dry season, communities in the central and northern Amazon face increased fire risk linked to El Niño. With the support of SERVIR, decision-makers can more easily track and respond to these fires.
