![Soil organic carbon (SOC) is measured here for a depth of 0-5cm from Soil Moisture Active Passive from January 1, 2021 over Peru and Bolivia. SOC is visualized against combined MODIS landcover data for the year 2000 from Aqua and Terra. Shades of lighter pink indicate lower SOC content and darker shades of pink and purple indicate higher SOC content. Conservation International is interested in mapping areas of high SOC content for their conservation efforts.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-05/2023Spring_GSFC_Peru%26BoliviaClimate_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=RJ-8Cuuo)

![Median land surface temperature (LST) image over Los Angeles from June to August 2022, as derived from Landsat 8 TIRS data. Higher temperatures are shown in red, while cooler temperatures are displayed in blue. LST data can help investigate the impacts of urban cooling initiatives and inform urban planning decisions to mitigate the impacts of heat within the city.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-05/2023Spring_JPL_LosAngelesUrban_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=1olFjNJd)

![Aerosol Optical Depth for a dust event on July 26th-27th, 2021, calculated with the MAIAC algorithm from Terra and Aqua MODIS satellite data. Great Salt Lake surface area, in blue, was derived from JRC Yearly Water Classification History and processed imagery from Landsat 5, 7, and 8. The map depicts regions that are most impacted by dust surrounding the Great Salt Lake. Red and Yellow represent high dust levels within Northern Utah.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-05/2023Spring_VEJ_GreatSaltLakeHAQ_WebImage.jpg.webp?itok=T6r5Pogy)

Red and orange areas depict where the effect is most severe and bus routes are overlayed in white. Areas where bus routes intersect with high heat exposure can be prioritized for bus shelters and community engagement.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-05/2023Spring_VEJ_NewYorkCityTI_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=UnKpDwG2)

![This image shows the mixed environments near the American Falls Reservoir throughout the year, blended using 2022 summer and winter NDVI false-color composites derived from Landsat 8 OLI and overlaid by a hillshade from SRTM. The white color indicates snowpack in the mountain wilderness, the primary water resource for agriculture and habitats near the reservoir. Bright red denotes marshes and irrigated farms, essential resources for wildlife animals and humans living in Southern Idaho.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-05/2023Spring_ID_IDEco_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=omiCUyxc)

![The satellite imagery is a Sentinel-1 Ground Range Detection C-SAR image from July 2nd, 2021, taken over the Sudd Wetland located in South Sudan. The image shows the 'VV' backscatter values, which correlate to vertical transmission and vertical reception from the C-SAR instrument and are used to classify wetland inundation extent. Low 'VV' values (blue) represent areas covered by open waters & inundated land areas and high 'VV' values (yellow) represent dry land areas.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-05/2023Spring_JPL_WETWater_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=UViLBf_D)

![Aerosol optical depth concentration from MODIS, captured on August 16, 2020, during the fire season. Dark purples hues indicate normal atmospheric conditions, while orange and yellow hues show high concentrations of aerosols, suggesting the presence of smoke and particulate matter following a fire event. MODIS aerosol optical depth can be used as a proxy for PM2.5 pollution, increasing decision makers’ capacities to monitor and address the negative effects of wildfire smoke plumes on residential areas.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-05/2023Spring_LaRC_ColoradoSpringsHAQ_WebImage.png.webp?itok=rNvnSpEC)

The dark blue, purple, and pink pixels indicate low to high levels of turbidity respectively in Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire and surrounding water bodies. This is layered over an SRTM DEM dataset, acquired 2/11/2000 and published 9/23/2014, showing varying elevations. More turbid waters are less suitable for loon habitats and are thus of interest to monitor loon preservation.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-05/2023Spring_MA_NHEco_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=Ub8tlSpD)
