Azienda News:
- Anthropogenic Human Influenced Ecosystems | NASA Earthdata
Data visualization is a powerful tool for analysis, trend and pattern recognition, and communication Our resources help you find world-class data visualizations to complement and enhance your research We also have tools and tutorials to help you translate human-influenced ecosystem data into compelling visuals
- GEDI Lidar | NASA Earthdata
The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) instrument is a full-waveform lidar installed on the International Space Station that produces detailed observations of the 3D structure of Earth’s surface GEDI's three lasers precisely measure forest canopy height, canopy vertical structure, and surface elevation
- Wetlands | NASA Earthdata
Wetlands are a type of terrain where the land is permanently or seasonally saturated with water Swamps and marshes are types of wetlands Insects, waterfowl, fish, amphibians, and other animals often find a home in wetlands, creating a complex ecosystem that combines land-based and aquatic life
- Biodiversity Functions | NASA Earthdata
Having a diverse assemblage of plants, animals, and other organisms in a wide range of habitats promotes ecosystem productivity Thriving, diverse ecosystems help balance processes like nutrient storage and recycling, pollution filtration, and water resource maintenance
- Biosphere | NASA Earthdata
Vegetation, soil, climate, and wildlife are the primary components of a biome’s composition Maintaining species richness in the biosphere ensures the productivity and stability of ecosystem processes, making it critical to monitor vegetation and wildlife health and prevent their loss
- GEDI | NASA Earthdata
The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) aims to characterize the effects of changing climate and land use on Earth Specifically, GEDI helps researchers study ecosystem structure and dynamics to enable radically improved quantification and understanding of Earth's carbon cycle and variability of life
- Invasion of the Ctenophores | NASA Earthdata
There is little interest in monitoring the species unless it has a major effect on people or the ecosystem, and by then the damage is done Knowing where the ctenophore is likely to spread could mean that countries might impose rules on ships for filtering their ballast waters, to avoid introducing the species in a place it would likely thrive
- Where the Wetlands Are | NASA Earthdata
Wetlands are places where land is permanently or seasonally saturated with water, forming a distinct ecosystem that is both aquatic and land-based Although wetlands may exist wherever water collects, they often border rivers and lakes, creating spongy coastlines astir with fish, birds, and the drone of mosquitoes and dragonflies
- New Environmental Performance Index (EPI) Available at NASA’s SEDAC
The EPI provides quantitative metrics for evaluating a country’s environmental performance in different policy categories relative to clearly defined targets, and aggregates data on many indicators of sustainability into a single number – the EPI Score, which ranges from 0 to 100
- ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space . . . - Earthdata
ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) mission consists of a thermal infrared (TIR) multispectral scanner with five spectral bands operating between 8 and 12 5 µm The TIR data is acquired at a spatial resolution of approximately 35m x 70m with a swath width of approximately 400 km
