Integrating multiscale observations of U.S. waters
Water is essential to life for humans and their food crops, and for ecosystems. Effective water management requires tracking the inflow, outflow, quantity and quality of ground-water and surface water, much like balancing a bank account. Currently, networks of ground-based instruments measure these in individual locations, while airborne and satellite sensors measure them over larger areas. Recent technological innovations offer unprecedented possibilities to integrate space, air, and land observations to advance water science and guide management decisions. This book concludes that in order to realize the potential of integrated data, agencies, universities, and the private sector must work together to develop new kinds of sensors, test them in field studies, and help users to apply this information to real problems.

The Rising Sea
\"Did you know that the level of the sea has risen all over the world more than 3 millimeters per year since 1992? That's a little bit more than 2 inches in 17 years. Two more inches of water over almost three-fourths of Earth's surface is a lot of water! How do we know this? Since 1992, NASA and the French Space Agency (called CNES) have been using satellites with radar to measure the height of the sea's surface.\" (Los Angeles Times) Learn more about sea level rise and find out how it is measured.

The Seafloor From Space
Geosat was launched by the US Navy in 1985, yielding the most comprehensive set of gravity measurements ever. When the information was declassified last summer, David Sandwell and Walter Smith created a map of the topography of the seafloor.
