<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m forwarding a survey from NASA to the GIS Community regarding your use of their earth observation data. See the message and link below. If you have a minute and have used their data, please consider completing the survey.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you may be aware, NASA collects data from space on the Earth, including environmental conditions related to air, water (inland and ocean), and land. We have a unique opportunity to learn more about how NASA Earth observation (EO) data
is used and we hope you can help provide input.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As mandated by the <a href="https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title51-section60501&num=0&edition=prelim" target="_blank">CHIPS and Science Act of 2022</a>, <b>NASA is conducting a survey of the use of NASA EO
data by U.S. States, Tribal organizations, and territories.</b> An online, anonymous survey is available now that seeks to understand:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With this survey, NASA seeks to gain insight into our impact, possible gaps and areas for growth, and how users from these sectors could be better supported in their use of EO data for decision-making. Information from the survey will be
summarized and shared widely, as well as inform future NASA activities and priorities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope that you can fill out the survey as well as share widely across your community to help us maximize responses. We greatly appreciate your time and input.<o:p></o:p></p>
