Keep up with the latest carbon dioxide concentrations for our atmosphere: buff.ly/2qbNReG Jan. 2020 reading was 413 ppm. @NASAClimate has graphs & #data to download! The #ORNLDAAC also offers a variety of carbon cycle datasets: buff.ly/2UmZttf

#ICYMI: The Vista-CA dataset from the North American Carbon Program @NACP_Carbon provides locations of potential #methane (CH4) emitting facilities & infrastructure across the state of California. buff.ly/3aIP7eT Used to support the California Methane Survey project.

What's the difference between #MODIS & #VIIRS? VIIRS is younger, different spatial resolutions & spectral coverage, no orbital gaps, will eventually replace MODIS. Image compares #wildfire #data from the two instruments: buff.ly/2HDhlhj

Plants are important to the global #carbon cycle! 🌲s absorb CO2 during photosynthesis, store C above/below ground, produce O2. The #ORNLDAAC has >700 data holdings on forest structure/cover/biogeochemistry. Find one that's applicable to your research: buff.ly/2GwHc8d

#New dataset: Temporally consistent & harmonized global maps of above- & belowground biomass carbon density are available! buff.ly/2TBjxd8 #Data are for the year 2010 at a 300 m spatial resolution. The accumulated uncertainty of pixel-level estimates are also provided.

Christine Laney (@cmlaney), Isaac Larsen (buff.ly/2PZeZes), Alexey Shiklomanov (@ashiklom711), & Ying Sun (@gisgter2008) will join the ORNL DAAC User Working Group this year! Welcome, new members! #biogeochemistry #ecology #DataScience

🌎🗓 T-43 days until #EarthDay50 From space, @NASA can track damage to roads and homes after hurricanes, helping first responders and communities direct aid where it's needed most. go.nasa.gov/2v8GgUs

Get the catalog of point cloud #data collected during #LiDAR surveys over the #Amazon #rainforest in #Brazil from 2008-2018 for the Sustainable Landscapes Brazil Project. buff.ly/2wLM1rx Data made available by the Carbon Monitoring System @NASA_Carbon!

Beautiful 🌏 On April 22, the world will celebrate the 50th anniversary of #EarthDay. Follow @NASAEarth for its 50-day tribute, starting today, exploring how NASA’s Earth science, technology and space exploration are essential to the future of our planet.

We love #OpenData! "Open science can lead to greater collaboration, increased confidence in findings & goodwill between researchers." buff.ly/2SWoRI8  We assign all data products a DOI, making them easier to cite & discoverable. DOI Search: buff.ly/2J1KFvx

Dr. Liz Hoy studies Earth’s Arctic ❄️ and boreal regions, looking at how fires 🔥 affect carbon storage in a warming climate. She travels to Alaska and Canada during the summer with the #NASA_ABoVE field campaign. #IWD2020 bit.ly/2ItnIRX

#ICYMI: @NASA_ABoVE dataset "ABoVE: Surface Water Extent, Boreal and Tundra Regions, North America, 1991-2011" buff.ly/2OT4N4h has been cited 4 times & downloaded >800 times! Data were derived from time series of #Landsat TM & ETM+

#DYK that there are other DAACs out there besides @ORNLDAAC? We all serve the @NASAEarth Observing System to ensure that #data collected during #science missions is easily accessible. Do you want to use our data? Find out more buff.ly/2RuNhFp  and follow @NASAEarthData

Get these #data from Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment @NASA_ABoVE: A time series of Landsat-derived maps shows the expansion of a thaw slump on the East Fork Chandalar River in #Alaska from 2008-2017. buff.ly/2VBWpN2
