TL;DR: Landsat 8, a NASA and USGS collaboration, acquires global moderate-resolution measurements of the Earth's terrestrial and polar regions in the visible, near-infrared, short wave, and thermal infrared as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The programmatic developments and institutional context for the Landsat program and the unique ability of Landsat to meet the needs of national and international programs are described and the key trends in Landsat science are presented.

TL;DR: The Evaporative Demand Drought Index (EDDI) as discussed by the authors measures the signal of drought through the response of E0 to surface drying anomalies that result from two distinct land surface-atmosphere interactions: a complementary relationship between E0 and ET that develops under moisture limitations at the land surface, leading to ET declining and increasing E0, and parallel ET and E0 increases arising from increased energy availability that lead to surface moisture limitations, as in flash droughts.

TL;DR: Climate Engine is a web-based application that overcomes many computational barriers that users face by employing Google’s parallel cloud-computing platform, Google Earth Engine, to process, visualize, download, and share climate and remote sensing datasets in real time.

TL;DR: In this paper, a calibrated, integrated surface and groundwater model was used to simulate climate impacts on surface water/groundwater interactions using 12 general circulation model projections of temperature and precipitation from 2010 to 2100, and evaluate the interplay between snowmelt timing and other hydrologic variables, including streamflow, groundwater recharge, storage, groundwater discharge, and evapotranspiration.
