    • In the research area, the waste-to-energy (WTE) project funded by EPA has been tested with GeoBrain data products. The project identifies good locations for WTE projects based on the locations of sources of waste and the infrastructure needed to exploit those resources. The goal for the project is to promote energy recovery activities that will improve public health and the environment and help to increase our country's energy security. The customized Landsat and MODIS products obtained from GeoBrain were tested in the project

    • With the funding from the GeoBrain project in combination with OSCI funding, one graduate student has been hired to conduct a comparison study of at-sensor brightness temperatures measured by Terra ASTER and Landsat ETM+. The study area is along the east coast of the USA, from northern North Carolina to southern Virginia,. The GeoBrain system, which provides data customization capabilities for facilitating comparison, is used to download experimental data. Two papers describing the research results from this study have been submitted for peer-review, one to Remote Sensing of Environment and the other to the International Journal of Remote Sensing
