Announcing New Global Forest Cover Change Data
NASA MEaSUREs Global Forest Cover Change (GFCC) data are now available from the NASA Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) for users to analyze changes in forest and tree cover across the world. The GFCC data collection is comprised of three separate data products with fine to moderate resolutions, including 100 meter surface reflectance, 100 meter forest cover change, and 250 meter vegetation continuous field products for protected areas around the globe and their periphery. These images show how a series of logging roads, depicted by the lighter shades of yellow and green , have begun to splinter through the dense tree cover in this portion of the Amazon Rainforest northwest of Manacapuro, Brazil, shown in darker green.
About the data:
The GFCC Tree Cover Multi-Year Global dataset is available for four epochs centered on the years 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. The dataset is derived from the GFCC Surface Reflectance product (GFCC30SR), which is based on enhanced Global Land Survey (GLS) datasets. The GLS datasets are composed of high-resolution Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) and Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) images at 30-meter resolution.
For more detailed information, https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/dataset_discovery/measures/measures_products_table, and click on "GFCC."

Two key elements of NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) are now running in Amazon Web Services (AWS)—the Common Metadata Repository (CMR) and Earthdata Search. The evolution of the CMR and Earthdata Search to run in the cloud is part of an ongoing effort designed to enable EOSDIS and NASA’s Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project to effectively manage the ever-growing amount of Earth science data in the EOSDIS archive and efficiently provide these data to users.

Who uses NASA Earth Science Data?
Dr. Karen Seto, Frederick C. Hixon Professor of Geography and Urbanization Science and Associate Dean for Research, Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies; Director of the Seto Lab Yale University
Research interests: Urbanization and its effects on local and global environments, with a particular research emphasis on India and China.
Research highlights: In 1950, the population of India was slightly less than 400 million people. Today, India’s population is more than 1.3 billion people, according to figures from the United Nations. The growth and spread of the Indian population can be tracked not only formally through India’s national census, but also informally by instruments aboard orbiting Earth observing satellites. For example, a comparison of 2012 and 2016 nighttime lights imagery created from data collected by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aboard the joint NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi-NPP) satellite shows a dramatic increase in anthropogenic, or human-created, lights along the northern border of India, indicating continued population growth in an area that has some of the country’s highest population densities. The combination of field and remotely-sensed data provides a more complete picture of the effects of urbanization on biodiversity, croplands, and energy use.

Evolving #NASA #Earth Science Data and Services to the Cloud
NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System< (EOSDIS) is in the middle of a critical project prototyping, testing, and evaluating a significant change in the way data users access and use NASA Earth Observation (EO) data. Ironically, data users likely will not even notice if this change is implemented. What they will notice is more efficient access to more data and the ability to do more with these data.
