The image was collected by Landsat 9 on January 26 of 2023 showing Skidaway Island and waterways on the Georgia coast. The data shows areas of healthy vegetation and urban areas using a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The darker orange represents grass and urban areas. Yellow and purple represents forested and densely vegetated areas. The black represents open water.

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.

The green areas show stable forest in NW Alabama classified by both National Land Cover Dataset (2016-2019) and Landscape Change Monitoring System(2016-2021), and the pink areas are areas where forest cover loss was sensed by NLCD, LCMS, LandTrendr (2016-2021), and Global Forest Watch (2016-2021). These datasets and the basemap were made with Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper, Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus, and Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager.

Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) Image calculated from a May 2021 Landsat 8 top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance image. The purple area depicts areas without snow and the yellow area represents areas with snow cover. This information can be used by refuge managers to monitor snow conditions and prepare for the ecological, cultural, and landscape impacts caused by snow.
