- 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
- Anthropogenic Human Influenced Ecosystems | NASA Earthdata
Discover and Visualize Human Influenced Ecosystem Data NASA data help us understand Earth's changing systems in more detail than ever before, and visualizations bring these data to life, making Earth science concepts accessible, beautiful, and impactful
- 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
- CENTURY: Modeling Ecosystem Responses to Climate Change . . . - Earthdata
Description The CENTURY model, Version 4, is a general model of plant-soil nutrient cycling that is being used to simulate carbon and nutrient dynamics for different types of ecosystems including grasslands, agricultural lands, forests and savannas CENTURY is composed of a soil organic matter decomposition submodel, a water budget model, a grassland crop submodel, a forest production
- Ecosystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station . . .
The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) is aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and measures the temperature of plants to better understand how much water plants need and how they respond to stress ECOSTRESS addresses three overarching science questions: How is the terrestrial biosphere responding to changes in water availability? How do
- Millennium Ecosystem Assessment: MA Biodiversity - Earthdata
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment: MA Biodiversity provides data and information on amphibians, disease agents (extent and distribution of infectious and parasitic diseases), drylands (cattle, sheep and goats, and pasture), islands (fishing pressure, sewage pollution index and tourism), loss of natural land cover (biomes and realms), polar population, species distribution models, and
- Earth Observations of Blue Carbon Ecosystems | NASA Earthdata
This ARSET training guides participants through mapping extent and quantifying carbon stocks of blue carbon ecosystems
- 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
