The Enabling Sustainable Landscape-Scale Agricultural Management through Fire and Air Quality Monitoring service guides authorities to regulate agriculture burning and manage forest fires using the Mekong Air Quality Explorer Tool.
Droughts in the Lower Mekong region cause significant environmental and economic impacts, including loss in agricultural productivity and decreased food and water security.
Air Quality Monitoring for Sustainable Landscapes and Better Human Health aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve climate resilience and promote better human health by using air quality data for informing and regulating the management of agricultural burning.
This dry season, communities in the central and northern Amazon face increased fire risk linked to El Niño. With the support of SERVIR, decision-makers can more easily track and respond to these fires.

SERVIR scientists discuss the how the Regional Drought Monitoring and Early Warning System is being used in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region.
Enhancing Anticipatory Actions for Disaster and Climate Resilience aims to reduce the loss of lives and damage to properties and crops from floods and droughts by improving early warnings using satellite data and geospatial information.
At Google’s Geo for Good (G4G) Summit 2023 in Mountain View, California, SERVIR scientists explained how and its collaborators are using artificial intelligence (AI) get more out of Earth data.
