Biosphere | NASA Earthdata NASA biosphere data are critical for understanding Earth's species, climate regulation and change, and its ecosystem processes
Anthropogenic Human Influenced Ecosystems - NASA Earthdata One of the most consequential forces shaping our planet is ourselves — the human species When humans build cities, plant or cut down forests, grow crops, burn fuel, and alter bodies of water, it can have profound impacts on Earth's biosphere, both positive and negative Understanding the ways in which humans interact with the environment and how the resulting changes affect Earth’s
Biodiversity Functions | NASA Earthdata NASA Earth observation data help researchers understand biodiversity issues such as species distribution, forest health, and water resource management
Biogeochemical Cycles - NASA Earthdata Biogeochemistry is the study of the biological, geological, and chemical processes that occur in nature, and biogeochemical dynamics are the complex interactions between these processes including how the interactions change over time In particular, biogeochemistry examines the factors that influence cycles of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous and the impacts of the
Wetlands - NASA Earthdata NASA’s wetland data help scientists study ecosystems, water cycles, climate change, and the effect of human infrastructure on the environment
Integrated Biosphere Simulator Model (IBIS), Version 2. 5 The Integrated Biosphere Simulator (or IBIS) is designed to be a comprehensive model of the terrestrial biosphere; the model represents a wide range of processes, including land surface physics, canopy physiology, plant phenology, vegetation dynamics and competition, and carbon and nutrient cycling
Tsunamis - NASA Earthdata NASA’s Earth satellite data, such as wave height and surface deformation, help scientists understand the processes that create tsunamis
Terrestrial Hydrosphere | NASA Earthdata Water, snow, and ice are necessary for sustaining life on Earth and help connect the planet's systems The terrestrial hydrosphere includes water on the land surface and underground in the form of lakes, rivers, and groundwater along with total water storage NASA tracks nearly every aspect of the water cycle — where precipitation is falling, where snow and ice are melting, the amount of
Global Gridded Surfaces of Selected Soil Characteristics (IGBP-DIS) These data surfaces were generated by the SoilData System, which was developed by the Global Soil Data Task of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) Data and Information Services (DIS) The SoilData System generates soil information and maps for geographic regions at soil depths and resolutions selected by the user
Ocean | NASA Earthdata The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth’s surface and contains 97% of the planet’s water This vast, critical reservoir supports a abundance of life and helps regulate Earth’s climate
