ECOSTRESS Applications

Applications

ECOSTRESS data can be used in a wide variety of applications and applied science investigations, with partnerships on-going at the US and non-US federal, state, and local/regional scales.  Partnerships on-going include working with USDA; states of California, Florida, and Iowa; cities of Los Angeles and Phoenix and utilities such as the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Eastern Municipal Water District, and the Tennessee River Valley Authority.  ECOSTRESS applications also has an international footprint through engagements with Brazil, Costa Rica, Portugal and Spain, and Cambodia.  Areas in which we work include land management (evaluating and assessing restoration efforts), urban heat island detection and mitigation, drought, aquatic ecosystem and habitat assessment, thermal pollution from power plants, shellfisheries and coastal vegetation stress and risk, wildfires, public health, and geothermal and geology hazards.  

As of March 6, 2020, our ECOSTRESS Early Adopters community (now the Community of Practice) has over 272 individuals, with 1/3 of members engaging in Applied Sciences investigations.

ECOSTRESS standard products will include evapotranspiration (PT-JPL and ALEXI) as well as evaporative stress index and water use efficiency.  These products can be used to assess vegetation water stress over managed (such as agricultural) and natural landscapes and have the potential to support management decisions.  The ECOSTRESS Applications Area is seeking core partners and activities to pursue to demonstrate applications of ECOSTRESS or ECOSTRESS-like products in applied contexts.  

Please contact Christine Lee with any applications activities you would like to pursue with ECOSTRESS - christine.m.lee@jpl.nasa.gov
