Thanks in part to SSAI scientist Dr. Ranjay M. Shrestha, NASA’s Black Marble product is actively used by multiple government and scientific agencies to measure the impacts of natural disasters on the electricity grid, monitor the effects of conflict and population displacement, map out urbanization, track electrification and light pollution, and understand activity patterns within human settlements.

Ozone research remains a high priority for the scientific community. SSAI scientists are an integral part of this mission, and many have worked side by side for decades with their NASA colleagues who specialize in ozone research.
