3:38 minute video "When beavers build dams, the changes they make to their habitat can improve everything from biodiversity to drought resilience. Researchers at Boise State University and Utah State University, in collaboration with NASA’s Applied Sciences Ecological Conservation program area, are adding remote sensing data to a suite of tools to measure what happens when beaver are reintroduced to an area.
For people managing water resources and conservation efforts, predicting which streams can support beavers and monitoring how water and vegetation change once they return is critical. Using satellite data makes it possible to monitor large areas and track changes over time."

Organizations
NASA: Applied Sciences "We work closely with the Biological Diversity Program, another part of NASA’s Earth Science Division, to fund competitive research at academic institutions, non-governmental organizations and in the private sector. The Biological Diversity program supports basic research that advances the understanding of how and why biological diversity is changing."

Programs & Apps
NASA: Applied Sciences Program "helps people across the world use NASA data to solve big problems right here on Earth. We provide support and funding to help institutions and individuals make better decisions about our environment, food, water, health and safety.
All components of the Applied Sciences Program are now housed within Earth Action, a new element of NASA’s Earth Science Division. The appliedsciences.nasa.gov website and pages within contain both new content about Earth Action and historic references to the Applied Sciences Program. You can find out more about how Earth Action fits within NASA’s Earth Science Division, as well as information about other parts of the Division (including Flight, Earth Science Data Systems, Research and Analysis, and the Earth Science Technology Office) at the Earth Science website."
NASA’s Biological Diversity & Ecological Conservation Programs "support new uses of remote sensing data to understand bird populations. They include ground-based surveillance of weather and how it affects birds, tracking flocks of the birds themselves, and studying how nighttime light affects bird behavior."
Education & Training Opportunities
Education & Training Opportunities
NASA's Capacity Building Program "provides individuals and institutions with workforce development, training activities, and collaborative projects to strengthen understanding of Earth observations and expand their use around the world. Through our unique program elements, we work with everyone at every level — from first-time users to long-time professional users of Earth observation data. The program is composed of unique ways to connect with unique users, and includes ARSET, DEVELOP, SERVIR, and the Indigenous Peoples Initiative."
