Annual max biomass calculated from 2021 daily Harmonized LandSat Sentinel-2 (HLS) dataset. Dark purple colors show low biomass while the bright orange show high biomass. Regions with high vegetation and tree canopy cover are shown in orange on the left of the image. High biomass values are of an interest to rangeland managers to help inform their grazing decisions based on which areas of the ranch produce the most biomass/vegetation.

Observed Flooding Areas Using USGS / NASA Landsat 8 and Copernicus / ESA Sentinel SAR data

Median daily evapotranspiration (ET) from September 2021 to May 2022 calculated from ISS ECOSTRESS data. The image covers the agricultural fields adjacent to the Maipo River, Chile and depicts water stress. The color scale ranges from red (low ET) to blue (high ET), with higher ET observed over irrigated agricultural fields. ET is used for estimating crop irrigation requirements. This data will inform irrigation management practices and help alleviate water scarcity within the area. ​

Magnitude of largest model break in Continuous Change Detection Algorithm harmonic regression model, indicative of clearcut logging in the Oregon coast range forests. Imagery from Landsat 4-5 TM, Landsat 7 ETM+, and Landsat 8-9 OLI from across the study period 2000-2021 over standard hill shade. Patches of blue show clear cut areas with lavender then yellow indicating higher magnitude. Green areas represent forests untouched during the study period.
