document all kinds of important phenomena--for example: urban sprawl, water pollution, and coastal erosion. The data they gather have revolutionized the way earth-science research is done, and they offer new perspectives to decision makers facing global prob...
Lighting Up the Ecosphere
for ways to measure the effects of urbanization on the biological productivity in the U.S. and other countries around the world. They created a method of mapping urbanization on a countrywide scale by using satellite images of the light cities generate at n...
KAGUYA (SELENE) Composition of 3-D Movies with Terrain Camera Images
satellite. It can take three-dimensional (stereo) images of the Moon's globe with a world's first super high definition of 10 m. Three-dimensional terrain images acquired by TC high resolution stereo pair cameras are important data to study the evolu...
A Burning Question (DAAC Study)
examined only spectral information, the differences between instrument channels," Christopher said. The researchers compared data from two sensors, the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) scanner, both flown on the N...
Disintegration of the Ninnis Glacier Tongue (DAAC Study)
during a routine review of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite images, obtained from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. To get a closer look at the coastline, Massom contacted the Alaska Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Facility, housed with...
A Disintegrating Glacier
Berg A had drifted 20 kilometers (about 12.5 miles) to the west, Berg B had drifted to the northeast, and a smaller section (C) remained grounded in front of the Ninnis Glacier. Massom, who has been studying the distribution of polar sea ice for 20 years, came across the...
Bright Lights, Big City
U.S., Europe, and Japan are brightly lit by their cities, while the interiors of Africa, Asia, Australia, and South America remain (for now) dark and lightly populated. (Data courtesy Marc Imhoff of NASA GSFC and Christopher Elvidge of NOAA NGD...
