![Forest cover and land surface temperature (LST) around Maine's Penobscot River during Summer 2021. The shades of green distinguish between evergreen (dark) and deciduous (light) forest which were classified using Landsat 8 OLI imagery. The purple gradient corresponds to LST derived from Terra MODIS where the warmest areas, including Bangor, are white. Changing land use and warming temperatures along Maine’s rivers are associated with reducing juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) survivorship.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-11/2022Sum_GSFC_MaineEcoIII_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=EiYDdUqO)

![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.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-02/2022Fall_CO_EasternPlainsAgr_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=StO3rYYa)

![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)

![NDWI-processed imagery from Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager data. This mosaicked image was taken from January to December 2021 of Jekyll Island, Georgia. NDWI contrasts the water features in a satellite image to its surroundings by measuring the moisture content. Low moisture content is shown in white, and high moisture content is shown in blue.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-02/2022Fall_GA_Disasters_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=_4Frkxe1)

![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)

![NDWI-processed composite image from Landsat 8 OLI data of the Lower Illinois River Valley and surrounding landscapes from summer 2021. Shades of pale yellow indicate dry vegetation and dark teal represents open water, while brighter turquois values depict wet vegetation. Areas of high NDWI values are demonstrative of high presence of wet vegetation and are of interest to the Great Rivers Land Trust in identifying areas of interest for wetland conservation.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-12/2022Sum_JPL_LowerIllinoisEco_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=eCvz2h8C)
