Featured Land Management Observation Method: MODIS

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) continually collects data in 36 spectral channels, surveying the entire planet every one to two days. MODIS data are used in studies across numerous disciplines, including vegetative health and changes in land cover and land use.
