NASA (American Aeronautics and Space Administration), looks more like an agency looking into space. But the fact that it has powerful software for observing Earth comes from its location in the region. Climate change is a very interesting and researched topic today.
threatening the planet and the future of humanity climate change NASA also participated in their research. Observing climate change across the planet, the company conducted two space-based studies. Here are the details!
NASA’s Mars helicopter set to break records
The Mars helicopter Ingenuity will soon set a record by making its longest flight ever.
Researchers use satellite data to monitor water loss
He announced the results of two of NASA’s space-based studies to monitor climate change. first oneis a leading high-resolution tool for estimating the total amount and carbon storage capacity of earth forest biomass. Global Ecosystem Dynamics Survey (GEDI) becomes a dataset from the mission.
Over the past three years, GEDI has measured vegetation around the world with billions of lasers. This information is a detailed description of all vegetation in an area of one square kilometer. 3D biomass mixed to create maps. So researchers will be able to better estimate the amount of carbon stored in forests with these maps.
GEDI’s leader in verification and calibration John Armston said:
Much more sharply deciphering the structure of different forest and woodland ecosystems will not only benefit carbon stock estimation, but also our understanding of their ecological status and the impact of different land management practices.
Latteris a serious issue for the agricultural industry. monitor water loss A collaborative project developed for and using satellite data. This project took place between NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Researchers, Sentinel-1 California’s satellite Tulare Basinhe observed.
This groundwater is an important agricultural center for the USA. Central Valleyin use to irrigate. Satellite data provided the team with a development context that tracks the rate and type of groundwater loss.
NASA deputy administrator Pam Melroydiscussed the agency’s prioritization of climate change research at the 37th Annual Space Symposium in Colorado this week. Additionally, in its statement, it stated that they launched the Earth System Observatory to improve understanding of climate change.
