Data from NASA’s ORNL DAAC help Dr. Kyla Dahlin better understand how remote sensing can improve predictive ecological models.

NASA’s wide range of ecological and atmospheric datasets help scientists like Dr. Walker gain insight into how Earth’s terrestrial ecosystems respond to global change.

The ability for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to create high-resolution imagery regardless of atmospheric conditions makes it a key technology for studies of change over time. Dr. Paul Siqueira’s work improves these sensors and the Earth observing data they collect.

Ocean color data provide key information about ocean health. Dr. Barnes uses these data in his investigations into the health of optically shallow waters.

Deforestation is taking a toll on the Amazon and other areas of high variability of life. Dr. Eric Bullock uses NASA Earth observation data to explore the consequences of land use and land cover change in these areas.
