Inefficient allocation of water only worsens water scarcity. Satellite data can measure variables we need for our 3 domains. For ag, evapotranspiration (ET) is compared between pivot and non-pivot irrigation. Evaporative stress index (ESI) is used to measure severity of drought, and land surface temperature (LST) is used to measure the severity of wildfires.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-18133\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/gci\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2023\/05\/4-poster.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/gci\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2023\/05\/4-poster.jpg\">View the full poster here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/4-media.pdf\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18134\">Read about the research here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kellianne Bogart, Holland Hatch, Ryan Joshi, Christabel Naddour, Sally Van Riper<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4915,"featured_media":1291,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"Grand Challenges Initiative","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,3,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environment-and-sustainability","category-grand-challenges-initiative","category-student-presentations"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
