Norway's International Climate and Forests Initiative Data Program

Norway's International Climate and Forests Initiative Data Program

Through Norway’s International Climate & Forests Initiative (NICFI), users can now access Planet’s high-resolution, analysis-ready mosaics of the world’s tropics in order to help reduce and reverse the loss of tropical forests, combat climate change, conserve biodiversity, and facilitate sustainable development for non commercial uses.

In support of NICFI's mission, one can use this data for a number of projects including, but not limited to:

Major work on Remote Sensing of Agriculture in South/Southeast Asian Countries Published - Springer

-Provides the latest algorithms, tools, and techniques in remote sensing specific to agriculture.

-Offers methodologies to aid the development of operating tools for crop mapping and monitoring.

NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Science Workshop

NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Science Workshop

The NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Science Workshop will be an in-person 2.5-day event organized by NASA and UNAVCO to bring together the science community in Solid EarthEcosystemsCryosphereHydrosphere disciplines, and other areas of Earth science that will benefit from the NISAR mission. 

The workshop will:

Forest edges save more carbon than initially thought

Forest edges save more carbon than initially thought

Dr. Luca Morreale looked at the speed of tree growth and other factors in more than 48,000 forest plots in the northeastern United States tracked by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Trees within 30 meters of an edge grew nearly twice as fast, and more sunlight fueled a higher tree density. Faster-growing trees packed tightly together mean that more carbon is stored in tree roots, trunks, and leaves.

Black neighborhoods will bear future flood burden

Black neighborhoods will bear future flood burden

Dr. Oliver Wing and his team created projected flood loss maps under the modest Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 climate change scenario outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which predicts climate patterns if emissions peak in 2040 and then decline. They analyzed those data in concert with projected population and demographic shifts from the U.S.
