Biosphere Data Access and Tools

NASA biosphere data range from surface reflectance data useful for measuring the greenness of vegetation to measurements of nighttime lights that disrupt the behaviors of wildlife. NASA even has socioeconomic data that help reveal the impact of human activities on Earth’s biomes. Our datasets and tools help researchers translate these interconnected data points into actionable knowledge.
