Earth Day is a time to pause and appreciate our dynamic, wondrous planet. From biosphere to magnetosphere, Earth is simultaneously our home and our research lab. As a deeply interconnected system, Earth provides everything we need to sustain life in its myriad forms, but we must continue to pursue scientific research to understand the complexities of this system and how it may change in the future. NASA Earth Science is at the forefront of these research efforts, leading missions and funding teams to collect, manage, and analyze Earth observation data.
IMPACT is proud to serve a critical role in Earth science research by developing and implementing data tools, services, and infrastructure enhancements to maximize the discoverability and usability of Earth science data. Teams and projects within IMPACT such as the Airborne Data Management Group (ADMG), the Analysis and Overview of CMR team (ARC), and the Science Discovery Engine team work daily to advance stewardship of Earth observation data.
