Sensing Our Planet: NASA Earth Science Research Features
Sensing Our Planet: NASA Earth Science Research Features, formerly the DAAC Alliance Annual, is a multidisciplinary publication highlighting research using data from NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) satellites. The publication is researched, written, and produced annually at the NSIDC DAAC on behalf of the NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) data centers.
Sensing Our Planet features intriguing research using data from NASA's EOS satellites and related data from the EOSDIS data centers, including the NSIDC DAAC. The articles span the Earth science disciplines represented by the EOSDIS data centers, and are written with scientists, educators, and the interested public in mind.
The 2011 issue features data from twelve discipline-specific data centers. Two articles in the 2011 issue feature NSIDC DAAC data. "Hidden carbon" investigates how researchers are accounting for Earth's carbon balance using AMSR-E data. Southeast Asia's remote mountain regions."Waiting for Gojal" tells how researchers studied a rockslide-created lake in Pakistan, using the GLIMS Glacier Database from the NSIDC DAAC and other data from the LP DAAC. The issue also contains articles about the ways scientists are using NASA data to study topics such as hurricanes, cholera risk, and soil moisture.
