![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)

![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)
