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.

Vector-borne diseases are responsible for over 17% of all the infectious diseases globally. Many of these diseases are preventable through protective measures, provided local authorities are aware of the potential outbreaks of the responsible vectors. This data pathfinder links to NASA datasets and tools that can aid with decisions regarding disease outbreaks that are often associated with environmental factors (seasonality, habitat suitability for vector, etc.) that NASA measurements can provide data to assess.

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.
