The Natural Disaster Reference Database (NDRD) is a bibliographic
database on research, programs, and results which relate to the use of
satellite remote sensing for disaster mitgation. The NDRD was compiled
and abstracted from articles published from 1981 though January
2000. Major sources for the contents of this database were the NASA
RECON and ISI Current Contents databases. 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.
Although the NDRD is no longer updated, it remains on-line as a useful
resource for disaster researchers worldwide and as a legacy web site
of the Earth Sciences Directorate, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
located in Greenbelt, Maryland, USA
