TEMPERATURE IS THE CRITICAL SIGNAL THAT ALLOWS MONITORING OF A MYRIAD OF EARTH'S PROCESSES. FROM DIRECT MEASUREMENTS OF WILDFIRE AND URBAN HEAT TO MORE COMPLEX RELATIONSHIPS WITH DROUGHT, AGRICULTURE, AQUACULTURE, AND BIODIVERSITY, MAINTAINING A STEADY PULSE ON EARTH'S SURFACE TEMPERATURE ENABLES US TO MITIGATE FOR AND ADAPT TO THE IMPACTS OF EXTREME EVENTS AND INCREASINGLY VARIABLE WATER AVAILABILITY UNDER A CHANGING CLIMATE. ALL THESE EARTH PROCESSES ARE HIGHLY DYNAMIC IN SPACE AND TIME; THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM IS THAT THEY REQUIRE HIGH SPATIAL AND HIGH TEMPORAL RESOLUTION MEASUREMENTS OF TEMPERATURE. HYDROSAT IS INNOVATING THROUGH THIS SPACE-TIME BARRIER TO PROVIDE 20 M SURFACE TEMPERATURE DATA EVERY DAY, GLOBALLY. WE PROPOSE IN THIS 6-MONTHS PHASE I INVESTIGATION TO CONDUCT A SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH HIGH SPATIOTEMPORAL RESOLUTION SURFACE TEMPERATURE CAN IMPROVE APPLICATIONS ACROSS: I) WILDFIRE; II) DROUGHT; III) URBAN HEAT; IV) AGRI
