ARIA Flood Extent Map of Harvey from Sentinel-1 SAR Data

Landsat 8 OLI derived MNDWI imagery mosaicked from October 17, 2020, to December 2, 2020. Located near the Río Patuca (Patuca River) in Ahuas, Honduras, permanent water and flood is represented as bright red and orange while blue depicts other land cover types and clouds. Examining floods from disasters like Hurricanes Eta and Iota helps decision makers improve mitigation and response efforts.

Protecting the "Third Coast" from Oil Spills and Invasive Plants

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.
