Beyond the Poles
PGC aided NASA researchers in leveraging satellite imagery to produce a census of trees across the Sahara. The research was just published as the cover story for this month’s issue of Nature. PGC both supplied over 300,000 of the high-resolution satellite images used in the project and created the visualization tool that allows scientists and the public to explore the data. You can explore the data here:
We are thrilled to have shared our resources and expertise in efforts beyond the poles to better understand and monitor Earth’s systems.
