- Anthropogenic Human Influenced Ecosystems - NASA Earthdata
Our datasets useful to the study of human-influenced ecosystems include crop extent maps, urban air quality measurements, and land cover surveys These measurements and higher-order data products enable important studies into how humans shape Earth and how we can better care for ourselves and our home Get Human-Influenced Ecosystems Data
- Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation | 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
- Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation 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 By accurately measuring forests in 3D, GEDI data play an important role in
- 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
The term "biodiversity" is used to describe the abundance and variety of life on Earth 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 In addition, diverse ecosystems trap
- Water Temperature | NASA Earthdata
NASA’s Earth science data help scientists study water temperature to learn about global warming, water cycles, and ecosystems
- Machine learning-based Arctic-boreal terrestrial ecosystem CO2 fluxes . . .
This dataset provides gridded estimates of gross primary productivity (GPP), ecosystem respiration (Reco), and net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) across the circumpolar terrestrial Arctic-boreal region at a 1-km spatial resolution Monthly CO2 flux data from 2001 to 2020 were generated using terrestrial eddy covariance and chamber CO2 flux observations, combined with geospatial meteorological
- The Human Footprint - NASA Earthdata
Increased human population often leads to greater influence on the environment and sharper declines in species and ecosystems
