Disasters Avoided - a research project for NASA

I am delighted to be the co-investigator for a two-year project funded by NASA, called Disasters Avoided . It is a project I am working on in conjunction with Professor Ilan Kelmanof UCL(London).
The purpose and objective of our work is to inspire action from governments, funders, businesses, the non-profit sector, and the public by compiling, verifying and sharing compelling good-news examples of potential disasters which could have happened, but did not, because action was proactively taken before it was too late. We hope to inspire the use of Earth observations and connecting Earth systems to act cooperatively, at a global and a local level, to avoid disasters.

NASA is of course known globally as an organisation that helps the human race to move forward with space exploration.
They also have an Earth Science team. The Disasters program part of NASA's Earth Science Applied Sciences Programuses Earth-observing data and applied research to improve the prediction of, preparation for, response to and recovery from hazards and disasters around the world.

More information will be made available about this project during 2023, and 2024 (including a dedicated website for the project).
