![NDVI image displaying diverse land uses around Puerto Maldonado, Peru. Derived from Landsat 8 OLI, the image is a cloud-removed, composite mean from all available images over the 2020-2021 Peruvian wet season (October – April). Light pinks indicate low photosynthetic activity, and dark pinks and purples indicate high photosynthetic activity. These NDVI data inform land use analyses, which can assist public health and environmental officials in understanding the relationship between land cover and zoonotic d](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-03/2021Fall_GA_PeruHealthAQII_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=K5sKlDb6)

![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. ](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-11/2022Sum_PUP_MaipoRiverValleyAg_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=DiGPgMrj)

![NDMI over a wildland urban interface in central Chile generated from Landsat 8 OLI median-reduced data from March 1, 2018 through February 28, 2022. Orange areas represent vegetated shrublands and forests with low moisture content and green areas representing vegetated agricultural areas with high moisture content. The NDMI was used as a proxy for wildfire fuel moisture in a wildfire risk assessment.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-12/2022Sum_LaRC_ChileWildfires_WebsiteImage_V2.jpg.webp?itok=YJDde00a)

![NDVI over Mato Grosso, Brazil processed from March 2021 Landsat-8 OLI data. Calculated NDVI values correspond with colors shown to indicate plant health. High NDVI values (green to blue) indicate dense vegetation found in tropical and temperate forests or crops at their peak growth. Low values (yellow to red) depict barren land, water, and moisture-stressed vegetation. These data can support timely and efficient agricultural responses to ensure productive yields and food security.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-12/2022Sum_NC_MatoGrosso_WebsiteImage_FD.png.webp?itok=JJA3kKJi)
