Major sources for the contents of this database were the NASA RECON and ISI Current Contents database This database focuses on the nexus of hazards and satellite remote sensing as well as models and process studies through which these can be brought together. Items of current and topical interest are also provided. The NDRD is maintained by the Earth Sciences Directorate (Code 900), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center located in Greenbelt, Maryland USA. A mirror site for the NDRD is located at the National Research Institute for Earth Sciences and Disaster Prevention (NIED) located in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.
