NASA satellite-based remote sensing data complements field data with environmental variables such as temperature and precipitation for species distribution and habitat suitability; vegetative data such as canopy height, forest structure, and evaporative stress; human impacts to biological diversity, such as deforestation or nighttime lights on predator/prey interactions; and spectroscopy information for direct detection of species.

Landslides occur throughout the world, under all climatic conditions and terrains, displacing communities of people, impacting the natural environment, causing major economic losses to an area. Using satellite data and other resources found within this data pathfinder, we can identify the conditions under which landslides typically occur, helping to improve monitoring and modeling of these hazards.

The virtual Terra, Aqua, Aura Drifting Orbits Workshop takes place Nov 1-2, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., EDT [UTC -4], each day. NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) mission and instrument leads will discuss potential science investigations that can be conducted as these three EOS platforms begin drifting in orbit. The workshop is free and registration is open to the public.
