From the program: Earth-observing satellites with high-resolution instruments will improveour ability to understand and respond to climate change, and the biospherecould be observed in much greater detail. New satellite spectrometers willallow to monitor air quality on regional down to urban scales and to assessthe impact of volcanoes on aviation and atmospheric chemistry. The combinationof novel active and passive instruments will yield unprecedenteddetails on cloud and aerosol properties, which currently constitute the largestsource of uncertainties in our understanding and prediction of climatechange. Revolutionary satellite techniques, like tagging animals with radioreceivers and then tracking them from radio telescopes mounted in space,would generate powerful impact. Installing a global observation systemthat provides a direct link to life on the planet envisions exploiting massanimal behavior as a sensor, for example to predict catastrophes like earthquakesor tsunamis.
