NASA’s DEVELOP program engages individuals and organizations in 10-week feasibility studies to apply NASA Earth observations (EO) to decision makers’ needs. Since 2018, DEVELOP conducted 21 projects in Central and South America, eight of those in collaboration with Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (SICA) and its member state partner agencies. These projects addressed a diverse set of community needs across multiple themes, including a project focused on monitoring aerosols using satellite-based measurements from Aqua and Terra MODIS, Suomi NPP VIIRS, and CALIPSO CALIOP and in situ data in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Panama. This poster introduces DEVELOP, its approach to capacity building, key partnerships, and project results highlighting the capabilities of Earth observations for enhanced decision making in the area of health.
