Measuring the Value of Earth Observations

Where the power of NASA's Earth observations come to life through state-by-state stories.

SEDAC focuses on human interactions in the environment.

NISAR is a dedicated U.S. and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) mission, optimized for studying hazards and global environmental change.

MISR provides new types of information for scientists studying Earth's climate.

TEMPO will be the first space-based instrument to monitor air pollutants hourly across the North American continent in the daytime.

The MAIA investigation will seek to understand how different types of air pollution affect human health.

PACE will advance the assessment of ocean health by measuring the distribution of phytoplankton, tiny plants and algae that sustain the marine food web.

This blog post on NASA Earth Applied Sciences' website introduces the challenge and VALUABLES “Value of Science” explainer series, which are written tutorials challenge participants can use to learn more about key terms, concepts, and methods for measuring the socioeconomic benefits of satellite information.

JAXA development results and outcomes

INPE's images Catalog provides a database with thousands of images generated by more than 16 satellites, with resolutions varying from 2 meters to 64 meters. Cameras include multispectral, wide field imagers, panchromatic, among others. All images are available to the public in the linked platform, which integrates search tools for filtering the database.

Open data and other resources link to the use of data from Canada.

Some examples of how space benefits Canadians and all of humanity.

This report aims to capture and communicate the evidence of the use cases and impact of Earth Observation (EO) in sustainable development for select sectors including agriculture, forestry, disaster resilience, urban development and climate resilience.
