Our mission is to facilitate the practical use of Earth
systems science and technology, and help meet the growing demand for a spatially
literate workforce. This is made possible through seeds sown by NASA, USDA
and NOAA, and the science and education networks provided by
Land
Grant (Cooperative Extension),
Space
Grant,
Sea Grant and other
local partners.

NASA Earth system science: from missions to measurements to models and decision making. Search the
on-line database for your needs.
In each participating state, a Geospatial Extension Specialist (GES) acts
as a knowledge broker, or the two-way conduit between research, applications
development and practice. We build on existing Earth science capabilities,
which include Earth observations from space, modeling and systems engineering,
geographic information systems (GIS), the global positioning system (GPS)
and spatial decision support systems (SDSS).
