![]() Looking at the different strengths and weaknesses of the different sensors and synthesizing that into a snapshot of water resources.” Going from Neurosciences to Applied Sciences And so, it's a question of trying to put it all together in the most intelligent way possible. We have tools that can provide information on groundwater, soil moisture, precipitation. “Remote observations can be among the best tools that they have to monitor and observe the surface of the Earth - and even beyond. ![]() That’s especially true for partners that might not have the resources to collect data on the ground but can utilize Earth observations from remote sensing agencies like NASA. Remote sensing data - and the tools NASA builds with that data - can be invaluable to decision makers, Oddo continued. One of the hardest parts about coring glacial lakes was hauling out the samples. Oddo doing field work in Glacier National Park, Mont. “With the current initiative to develop an International Water Strategy for the Water Resources program, it's about finding the best ways we can leverage all the great work that's already being done or that could be done in the future for the greatest possible impact.” “There’s a tremendous amount being done ,” Oddo said. It will also contribute to developing the NASA Applied Sciences Water Resources program’s International Water Strategy. This information will help him communicate NASA’s water capabilities to other government agencies. He’s also part of an internal effort to take stock of all the water research taking place across NASA’s many centers and labs. government better understand the resources available to help meet the water-relevant goals they’re setting, particularly for the White House’s Global Water Security plan. Through this role, he shares the myriad ways NASA supports water resource management and applied research. He currently serves as one of NASA’s representatives with the Department of State and the White House. In his five years working as a research scientist at the Hydrological Sciences Laboratory at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Oddo’s work has taken him across the different NASA centers and departments as well as outside of the agency. ![]() Although some of his work is what you’d expect - getting funding to research, analyze, and find a solution to a problem - lately he’s been wearing a different hat, too. Perry Oddo is not your typical research scientist. Perry Oddo on the day he hired his favorite research assistant, Gidget. ![]()
