Turn Your Research into Real-world Solutions with NASA’s Earth Science Applications Guidebook

Satellite-derived models and algorithms are foundational components of Earth science, but translating that science into useful decision-making tools takes a different kind of effort. The path from research to real-world applications of data may not be clear, even for established Earth scientists. NASA’s Earth Science Applications Guidebook provides that guidance.

This resource offers practical advice, expert tips, interactive examples, and audio quotes from more than 50 NASA and NASA-funded researchers to provide practical guidance on every stage of an Earth Action project, including:

• Understanding NASA’s Earth Science to Action Strategy
• Developing competitive Earth Action proposals
• Managing successful applications projects

The Guidebook – available in an online, interactive format and as a PDF – is an essential resource for anyone proposing to ROSES, including both established and early career scientists. Successful Earth Action projects are built on strong partnerships, meaningful co-development with users, and a clear transition strategy that enables applications to become part of operational decision-making. The Guidebook brings together decades of experience to help researchers navigate that journey.
