A new COVID-19 Data Pathfinder provides links to datasets and tools that can be used to research the potential environmental impacts from altered human behavior patterns, study the possibility of seasonal trends in virus transmission, and evaluate water availability. The Data Pathfinders provide direct links to commonly-used datasets across NASA’s Earth science data collections and information about datasets, services, and commonly used tools that enable data visualization, provide options for subsetting the data, and highlight capabilities for saving data into different file formats. https://go.nasa.gov/2Z2DTz9

NASA's Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) GLacier and Land Ice Surface Topography Interferometer Airborne (GLISTIN-A) Glacial Elevations Level 3 (L3) Version 1 dataset has been released at the Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC). This dataset includes 50m horizontal resolution gridded Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of Greenland Ice Sheet outlet glaciers collected during 2016 to 2019 using GLISTIN-A radar measured surface elevations around the periphery of the Greenland Ice Sheet using Ka-Band (8.4 mm wavelength) single-pass interferometry.

A new dataset from NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) provides annual maps of live aboveground tree biomass (Mg/ha) for pinyon-juniper forests across the Great Basin of the Western USA for the years 2000-2016 at a spatial resolution of 30 meters. The estimates of biomass were based on a linear relationship with pinyon-juniper canopy cover and crown-based allometrics developed from field data in Nevada and Idaho. The annual estimates were then calibrated to the Forest Inventory and Analysis program estimates and corrections were applied. This dataset is archived and distributed at NASA's Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center (ORNL DAAC). Discover and access data: https://doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/1755
