A.47 Earth Action: Community Action for Equity and Environmental Justice solicits proposals to integrate Earth science, geospatial, and socioeconomic information into the design and implementation of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)-enabled tools that elucidate and address issues faced by underserved and overburdened communities. NASA requests proposals developed in collaboration with underserved and overburdened communities, that involve a co-design process to address community interests to use Earth science information in decisions, actions, and policies. Priority topics include:
- Impacts caused by climate variability and change on timescales longer than a month and exposure and vulnerability to geohazards (e.g., urban heat islands, urban flooding, coastal hazards, wildfires, landslides, etc.)
- Air pollution impacts on human health
- Land cover land use change impacts on health and equity (e.g., urbanization, greenspace, tree canopy coverage, urban forestry)
- Agricultural monitoring and food security
- Green energy and built infrastructure
- Water resource management (e.g., stormwater management, green infrastructure, precipitation monitoring, water pollution)
