Visions of a Cloudy Continent (DAAC Study)
Antarctica," said Jane Ferrigno of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Center. Prior to the advent of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), no other civilian satellite remote sensing system was able to view the entire South Pole area, she sai...
Flame & Flood (DAAC Study)
fire scar locations, the study requires information about plant growth and erosion that ASTER cannot provide. “Even with ASTER’s high resolution, the changes in stream channels are too subtle to detect,” said Ramsey. So he and his colleague...
RAMPing Up (DAAC Study)
Mystery shrouds the Antarctic continent, particularly its eastern interior where few humans have explored. Satellite images obtained in 1997 for the RADARSAT Antarctic Mapping Project (RAMP) culminated in the world's first high-resolution map of Antarctica ...
When Land Slides (DAAC Study)
resolution, and making it especially useful for mapping the geomorphology of landslides. "SAR images provide information on the terrain roughness and texture, while TM images provide an infrared reflection of the object," said Singh...

Land Team (MODLAND) Validation Coordinator. "We required detailed information from a global network of research sites to provide us with measurements about aspects of land cover types, vegetation uptake and carbon dioxide release, and atmospheric carbon exchan...
New Light on Ice Motion (DAAC Study)
Rachel Hauser November 5, 2001 Detailed antarctic temperature and climate records date only from the late 1950s, with limited information dating from the turn of the 20th century. Now, using visible and near-infrared satellite imagery, scientists have piec...
New Tools for Diplomacy (DAAC Study)
"High-resolution imagery simply isn't affordable for many potential users, including some government agencies," said Sandalow. Also present is the danger of imagery misinterpretation. "Satellite images have the potential, if misinterpr...
The Incredible Glowing Algae (DAAC Study)
each sensor detect chlorophyll absorption. As the concentration of chlorophyll increases, satellite images show the ocean surface changing from blue to shades of green. To illustrate these changes, most ocean color imagery uses a color palette ranging from purple to orang...
Sensing Remote Volcanoes (DAAC Study)
Belinda’s eruption might not have been detected for weeks or even months. “Normally, this remote volcano would have gone unmonitored,” said Rob Wright, research scientist at the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology (HIGP). “However, when our sys...
