Mangrove Changes
Mangroves are coastal forests that grow where ocean, freshwater, and land meet. They are among the most productive and complex ecosystems on the planet, thriving in salty and brackish conditions that would kill most other plants (Wetlands International, 2012). They have evolved clever mechanisms to enable them to cope with high concentrations of salt and the regular inundation of their root...
Landscapes of West Africa: A Window on a Changing World
Landscapes of West Africa: A Window on a Changing World is an atlas and unique dataset that uses time-series satellite image data and field-based photography to tell the story of wide-ranging land change across 17 countries. EROS scientists selected the years 1975, 2000 and 2013 to characterize the landscapes and create the product, which represents the broadest effort to map the region in history...
