NASA: Canada - Alberta - ISERV observes flooding in Calgary - 11.07.13

When Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield installed a new “disaster cam” in the Destiny module window on the International Space Station (ISS) in January 2013, little did he know that one of the first disasters photographed would come from his homeland. The camera known as ISERV—the ISS SERVIR Environmental Research and Visualization System—snapped digital images of downtown Calgary as it was inundated by floodwaters in June 2013.

The top photo was acquired on June 22, near the height of the flooding around the Saddledome and the venue for the Calgary Stampede. The lower image from June 24 shows sediment and debris deposited around the city as the waters receded. (Turn on the image comparison tool to see the difference.) Note that the June 24 image is slightly blurry because the ISS was passing slightly to the east, and the city was not centered below the fixed, downward pointing camera. Larger, downloadable images (linked beneath each image above) show the floodwaters from both the Bow and Elbow Rivers inundating the wider Calgary metropolitan area.

Flooding in southern Alberta killed at least four people, forced the evacuation of more than 100,000 citizens, and caused billions of dollars in damage. “Floods are an unbridled misery,” Hadfield wrote. “My heart goes out to my fellow Canadians affected by the disaster.”

ISERV is a “testbed” instrument, an engineering exercise toward developing an imager that can help nations monitor natural disasters and environmental concerns. Nearly 95 percent of the Earth’s populated area is visible from the space station’s orbit.

ISERV captured 24 images of the Alberta flooding from June 22–24. The research team sent those images to Ken Korporal, agri-geomatics manager for Environment Canada, who distributed them to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing Emergency Geomatics, and other government agencies. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police noted that they have found the photos useful for managing the flood aftermath.

ISERV was developed to support a joint NASA/U.S. Agency for International Development project known as SERVIR, as well as the broader applied sciences community. The project provides satellite data and tools to environmental decision-makers in developing countries and operates via regional centers in Nairobi, Kenya; Kathmandu, Nepal; and Panama City, Panama. These centers can task ISERV to photograph areas of concern for environmental issues and natural disasters. SERVIR is coordinated from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.

“We're glad to be able to provide images to the Canadian government to help with response to this disaster and with assessing the damage,” said Burgess Howell, ISERV Principal Investigator. “We're also pleased that ISERV’s Pathfinder system, even in its shakedown phase, is fulfilling our expectations of usefulness in the aftermath of disasters.”

“I am proud that we are using the unique view from the space station to help make response efforts more effective,” Hadfield added. “The space station has a global reach in its ability to help those in need and make lives better here on Earth.”

Poetry: Gilbert Keith Chesterton - The Song of Quoodle - Gold Leaves - Links

The Song of Quoodle

They haven't got no noses,
The fallen sons of Eve;
Even the smell of roses
Is not what they supposes;
But more than mind discloses
And more than men believe.

They haven't got no noses,
They cannot even tell
When door and darkness closes
The park a Jew encloses,
Where even the law of Moses
Will let you steal a smell.

The brilliant smell of water,
The brave smell of a stone,
The smell of dew and thunder,
The old bones buried under,
Are things in which they blunder
And err, if left alone.

The wind from winter forests,
The scent of scentless flowers,
The breath of brides' adorning,
The smell of snare and warning,
The smell of Sunday morning,
God gave to us for ours

*

And Quoodle here discloses
All things that Quoodle can,
They haven't got no noses,
They haven't got no noses,
And goodness only knowses
The Noselessness of Man.  

Gold Leaves

Lo! I am come to autumn,
When all the leaves are gold;
Grey hairs and golden leaves cry out
The year and I are old.

In youth I sought the prince of men,
Captain in cosmic wars,
Our Titan, even the weeds would show
Defiant, to the stars.

But now a great thing in the street
Seems any human nod,
Where shift in strange democracy
The million masks of God.

In youth I sought the golden flower
Hidden in wood or wold,
But I am come to autumn,
When all the leaves are gold.
