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.

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.

The Earth Science Review Board Case Review Form is used to evaluate humanitarian cases by providing a summary of the case’s objectives, innovations, and use of Earth science. Reviewers assess strengths, areas for improvement, and recommend tools or resources that could enhance the case’s approach. Additionally, the form invites suggestions for potential partnerships, with an emphasis on specific organizations or sectors that could help improve the case’s impact. Reviewers are also asked if they would like their contact information shared for potential follow-ups.

Our September 2025 Virtual Speed Dating Event pairs humanitarians and Earth scientists to tackle shelter, damage, and displacement, guided by briefs on unmapped facilities, impact updates, and displacement signals.

This guide provides an overview of the Earth observation (EO) methodologies that play a crucial role in humanitarian efforts by providing data and analytical tools to monitor climate, environmental changes, and disaster impacts.
