Using corrected nighttime lights from NASA's Black Marble, researchers mapped a decade of global electrification to show worldwide changes over time. The data reveals areas where access to electricity is growing, where gaps persist, and how satellite data can guide the support of communities in need.
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

This literature review examines how satellite remote sensing is used to document human rights violations in conflict zones, highlighting the need for more transparent and collaborative approaches between geospatial and human rights experts.
We were excited to host NASA Lifelines’ first-ever Virtual Supper Club on September 17, 2025. This gathering brought together Earth scientists, humanitarians, and students from around the world to explore how satellite data can strengthen humanitarian action.
One year after Hurricane Helene, NOAA tells the story of how the disaster reshaped cities, landscapes, and communities across Southern Appalachia. Through interactive maps and detailed timelines, the user can explore impacts, recovery efforts, and resilience that continues today.
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.
Join NASA Response Mappers for a citizen science opportunity to submit land-cover photos before and after hurricanes. Images will be used to enhance emergency response and recovery systems. The program is a collaboration between NASA Disasters and the GLOBE Program, focused on the Southeastern United States.
The Pacific Disaster Center's National Disaster Preparedness Baseline Assessment (NDPBA) evaluates risk factors, vulnerabilities, and long-term disaster management for countries around the world. The framework advises early warning systems, resilience-building initiatives, sustainable development, and policy.
The UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal is an online international hub providing organizations with space-based information to support all aspects of disaster management. The focus on full cycle disaster support connects humanitarians with the space community.
