We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Featured Landslides Observation Method: Sentinel-1 C-SAR
The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) aboard the ESA (European Space Agency's) Sentinel-1A/B satellites provides continuous all-weather, day-and-night land imagery. SAR images can be combined to produce interferograms, which are images showing changes in land height or position associated with landslides, avalanches, and rockfalls.
Join us Jan 25 at 2 p.m., ET [UTC -5], to learn how to use the Alaska Satellite Facility's OpenSARLab to work with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data in the cloud.
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Data from NASA’s ASF DAAC helps scientists like Dr. Steve Bowman provide Utah’s citizens with timely scientific information about the state’s geologic hazards.
Dr. Williams aims to use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to determine the speed of every glacier on the planet.
