![The difference in Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) between ozone spike days in summer 2018 and 2020 in Seiling, Oklahoma. AOD measures particles distributed within a column of air and can help predict tropospheric ozone spikes and inform regulatory organizations. Data derived from Terra and Aqua MODIS with 2020 Landsat 8 imagery as a base map. Yellow represents the greatest difference in AOD and purple represents the least difference, with green in the middle. Areas with negative values were removed.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-03/2021Fall_JPL_OklahomaHealthAndAirQuality_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=PR2zL79Y)

![Mean annual solar energy potential per building footprint in kilowatts, created by using MERRA-2 and CERES FlashFlux Earth observations processed by NASA POWER for a 30-year period from 1990 to 2020. Projected over a 3-inch Digital Surface Model of Montgomery County, MD. Brighter colors represent higher areas of solar potential while darker colors visualize less exposure to solar irradiance. Building footprints with high solar potential indicate areas where solar panels could be installed to generate high e](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-03/2021Fall_LaRC_WashingtonDC%26MarylandEnergy_WebsiteImage_FD.jpg.webp?itok=EkgSK9hu)

![Oversampled nitrogen dioxide (NO2) atmospheric column data from select months (May – September) in 2019 derived from the OMI sensor aboard the NASA Aura satellite. The darker purple colors reflect lower concentrations of NO2 in our study region, but as the color scale moves towards brighter yellow it represents high concentrations of NO2. Assessing the NO2 gas distribution, in addition to other gases, can aid project partners in identifying hotspots of emissions.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-03/2021Fall_LaRC_SoutheastMichiganNorthernOhioHealthandAirQuality_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=-X50Y6mw)

![Processed imagery using 2020 Landsat 8 OLI data showing turbidity. Fire Island, a barrier island located in New York, is displayed on January 21, 2020. Shades of red indicates more turbidity and shades of blue indicate less turbidity, while black indicates land. Lower turbidity indicates areas with less sediment movement.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-04/2021Fall_MA_FireIslandWater_WebsiteImage_1.png.webp?itok=6Qx7-qJW)

![NDVI-processed imagery using Landsat 8 OLI data from June 1 to November 31, 2021. Showing Punakha, Bhutan, vegetative areas are represented by green while black depicts non-vegetative areas. Bhutan is located in the Himalayas with altitude ranging from 550 ft. to 23,000 ft., resulting in vast diversity of both ecosystem and agricultural products. Examining vegetation area help in developing a crop mask and remotely sensed data collection protocol for rice in Bhutan.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-03/2021Fall_MSFC_BhutanAg_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=z2epU4rN)

Brighter shades of pink indicate greater change in turbidity levels post-Hurricane Michael, while shades of purple represent lower turbidity change. This increase in sediment post-hurricane indicates disturbed aquatic vegetation due to extreme storm events.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-03/2021Fall_MSFC_StJosephPeninsulaDisasters_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=zl4XgGUp)
