This conversion service requires [...]]]> http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2009/01/edac-demonstrates-new-wms-to-kml-conversion-service/feed/ 0 http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/new-mexico-luca-undercount-analysis/ http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/new-mexico-luca-undercount-analysis/#comments Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:48:57 +0000 Karl Benedict http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/?p=100 EDAC, using digital aerial imagery, produced housing unit counts in ten of the most historically undercounted counties in New Mexico.  EDAC, in collaboration with UNM’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) and under contract to the NM Department of Finance and Administration, addressed the population undercount in the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) [...]]]> http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/new-mexico-luca-undercount-analysis/feed/ 2 http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/unm-pre-disaster-mitigation-planning/ http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/unm-pre-disaster-mitigation-planning/#comments Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:31:15 +0000 Karl Benedict http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/?p=99 On behalf of the University, EDAC applied for and received a Pre-Disaster Mitigation grant.  The grant provides funds for pre-disaster mitigation planning and projects. The mitigation plan is a demonstration of the commitment to reduce risks from natural hazards and serves as a guide for decision makers as they commit resources. ]]> http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/unm-pre-disaster-mitigation-planning/feed/ 1 http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/floodplain-map-modernnization-program/ http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/floodplain-map-modernnization-program/#comments Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:19:00 +0000 Karl Benedict http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/?p=97 EDAC, in cooperation with the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM), continues the partnership among state and Federal agencies, local communities, tribal entities, and professional associations to assess, inventory, acquire, and distribute data supporting coordination, planning, and development of floodplain mapping, as stated in New Mexico’s Map Modernization Management Support (MMMS) [...]]]> http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/floodplain-map-modernnization-program/feed/ 0 http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/new-mexico-environmental-public-health-tracking-epht-program/ http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/new-mexico-environmental-public-health-tracking-epht-program/#comments Wed, 08 Oct 2008 15:32:57 +0000 Karl Benedict http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/?p=95 In 2008 the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) completed the second year of a five-year Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement to develop an Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) program.

This project is unique in that it has successfully modified a dust forecast model for conditions in the southwest United States and improved the model’s performance by using NASA Earth observation data as input parameters.  Furthermore it has engaged [...]]]> http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/10/public-health-applications-in-remote-sensing-phairs/feed/ 0 http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/09/current-modis-imagery-for-new-mexico/ http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/2008/09/current-modis-imagery-for-new-mexico/#comments Thu, 25 Sep 2008 23:17:05 +0000 Karl Benedict http://edac.unm.edu/wordpress/?p=85 In collaboration with the Center for Rapid Environmental Assessment and Terrain Evaluation (CREATE) EDAC has developed a system for the rapid post-processing and delivery of true-color MODIS (Terra and Aqua) images for the display of recent conditions over the entire state of New Mexico.
