Learn how NASA Lifelines is strengthening humanitarian efforts by bridging the gap between Earth scientists and humanitarians. This program creates collaboration across disciplines, connecting experts worldwide to unlock the potential of satellite data.

The GeoAI for Humanitarian Action report explores how artificial intelligence and satellite data can strengthen humanitarian decision-making, while identifying the practical barriers that limit adoption. Drawing on community insights, it outlines strategies to build partnerships, tools, and programs that help humanitarian organizations translate GeoAI innovations into real-world impact.

The NASA Lifelines Humanitarian Wayfinder Learning Agenda focuses on leveraging geospatial data and interdisciplinary research to address humanitarian challenges. The document, created in collaboration with four humanitarian organizations, outlines critical knowledge gaps and research needs. It emphasizes the importance of actionable science and effective communication of research findings to support humanitarian operations.

The 2024 Ready for Impact Pitch Guide is designed to help organizations scale Earth science innovations by providing a platform to pitch at SatSummit 2024. Participants refine their scaling strategies, gain expert insights, and connect with funders. The guide emphasizes crafting a compelling narrative that links satellite data to humanitarian crises.

This Supper Club pre-read introduces how GeoAI is being applied to disaster response, damage assessments, and longer- term recovery. Both this document and the accompanying Supper Club discussion are part of the broader Lifelines humanitarian geoAI research initiative, which aims to evaluate the use of GeoAI across the humanitarian lifecycle and to develop guidelines for its responsible application

From orbit, NASA satellites witness Earth’s full daily rhythm—from sunrise to midnight storms to polar night. These instruments capture air quality, vegetation, rainfall, soil moisture, and glacial change in real time, offering a global perspective that helps us respond to crises, monitor environmental shifts, and protect the systems we depend on.
