Satellite Observations to Benefit Science and Society: Recommended
Missions for the Next Decade brings the next ten years into focus
for the Earth and environmental science community with a
prioritized agenda of space programs, missions, and supporting
activities that will best serve scientists in the next decade.
These missions will address a broad range of societal needs, such
as more reliable weather forecasts, early earthquake warnings, and
improved pollution management, benefiting both scientific discovery
and the health and well-being of society. Based on the 2007 book,
Earth Science and Applications from Space: National Imperatives for
the Next Decade and Beyond, this book explores each of the
seventeen recommended missions in detail, identifying launch dates,
responsible agencies, estimated cost, scientific and public
benefits, and more. Printed entirely in color, the book features
rich photographs and illustrations, tables, and graphs that will
keep the attention of scientists and non-scientists alike. Table of
