3DEP, lidar acquisition
Sample graphic of airborne lidar data acquisition. Target area is illuminated by pulsed laser light in the aircraft, Differences in laser return times and wavelengths are then used to make digital 3D representations of the selected ground sections.

Landsat View of Ethiopia’s Highlands and the Harenna Forest
Landsat View of Ethiopia’s Highlands and the Harenna ForestThis Landsat 8 image of central Ethiopia, acquired January 1, 2014, uses the shortwave infrared, near infrared, and red spectral bands (bands 6,5,4) to emphasize vegetation and land cover. In this combination, healthy vegetation appears bright green.

ASTER image of the Rio Grande River Valley
ASTER Surface Reflectance (AST_07) data can be used to view complex landscapes like the Rio Grande River Valley in southern New Mexico. This Terra ASTER surface reflectance natural color composite shows differences in reflectance over forested hills, irrigated agriculture, and arid regions.

Erosion along Alaska’s Arctic coastline near the village of Kaktovik
Erosion along Alaska’s Arctic coastline near the village of KaktovikNeal Pastick – lead author of the study – investigating erosion along Alaska’s Arctic coastline near the village of Kaktovik. Permafrost-dominated coasts of Alaska have drastically changed as the result of coastal transgression and storm-surge flooding which can result in the loss of cultural sites and damage to infrastructure.
