Text Block #1

Starting your own business and picking the right niche in no time

Join Resources for the Future (RFF) for the VALUABLES Consortium’s 2019 workshop, an annual gathering of economists, NASA experts, Earth scientists, decisionmakers, and thought leaders working to estimate and communicate how satellite data benefits society when we use it to make decisions.

 

Workshop program highlights will include: 

 

New results from case studies that quantify how using satellite data in decisions about managing health and air quality, water quality, flooding, endangered species, and wildfires improves socioeconomically-meaningful outcomes for people and the environment.

 

Discussions with NASA experts about collaborating with economists to measure the socioeconomic benefits of using satellite data applications in decisionmaking and using the consortium’s microeconomic framework to guide this process.

 

When: Wednesday, October 30, 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. ET

Where: Virtual


VALUABLES is a cooperative agreement between RFF and NASA.

What do we do?

 

Here are four impact assessments that quantify how society benefits when people use satellite information

to manage . . . 

Harmful Algal Blooms
Where CyAN helped a Utah community avoid $600,000 in HAB-exposure healthcare costs in 2017

Wildfires

Where Landsat saves federal agencies up to $7.7 million each year in post-wildfire response costs

Air Quality Regulation

Where MODIS and other data could be used to enforce the Clean Air ACt, which would have avoided over 5,400 premature deaths in 2016–17, a welfare gain to society of $49 billion

Crop Yields

Where data that reduce weather-related uncertainty for corn and soybean yields by 30 percent would be valued at $1.44 billion per year
