Join us on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at 2 p.m. EST (-05:00 UTC) to learn how to work with NASA's ICESat-2 land and vegetation height data. A live demonstration will showcase the SlideRule Earth web service which provides on-demand science data processing of ICESat-2 and other geospatial data.
Webinar
This is the first in a four-part webinar series to introduce NASA's Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation-2 (ICESat-2) platform and the platform's data, tools, and applications.
Webinar
This data recipe shows users how to use GAMMA software and scripts for high-quality results to correct distortions in SAR images.
Data Recipe
Learn about the water masking option provided by NASA’s Alaska Satellite Facility Distributed Active Archive Center (ASF DAAC) for on-demand Sentinel-1 interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR).
StoryMap
Join us Tuesday, Mar 5, 2024, from 4-5 p.m., ET, to learn how to get started with NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) data in the cloud.
Webinar
Access cloud-optimized Sentinel-1 radiometric terrain corrected synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscatter products from NASA's Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) project.
StoryMap
Learn how to use the Global 30-m Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND) dataset generated from the Copernicus GLO-30 DEM.
StoryMap
Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND) is a terrain model that normalizes topography to the relative heights along the drainage network and is used to describe the relative soil gravitational potentials or the local drainage potentials.
