The NASA Earth Action Water Resources program area advances the use of Earth science data to support sustainable and adaptable water resources management. Through collaboration with partners, the program area works to enhance water use efficiency, advance water quality monitoring and modeling, and strengthen water resilience. These efforts empower informed decision-making and address critical challenges in water resources.

The Energy and Infrastructure program area provides solar, meteorological, and other types of Earth information to aid decision-making related to energy production and management, power systems planning, building energy efficiency and sustainability, and resilient infrastructure. Two major projects are: Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources (POWER), which curates satellite and modeling data in free web platforms, and Risk Analysis and Solutions Innovators (RASI), which tailors meteorological and other Earth information to support infrastructure resilience for U.S. communities, especially those surrounding NASA Centers.  

Program Manager: Shanna Combley

Goooool v goal: English speakers flock to Telemundo for lively World Cup coverage

The Spanish-language broadcaster has won over millions of US viewers with its energetic commentary during games

Soccer fans looking to watch the 2026 World Cup on US television have been presented with two very different options this tournament.
