Annual Chlorophyll-a Concentration, v 1 (1998 – 2007)

Indicators of Coastal Water Quality

To provide a gridded version of existing SeaWiFS data in GIS-compatible formats in order to determine concentrations of chlorophyll-a in the coastal water column and to facilitate the integration with other data.

Change in Chlorophyll-a Concentration, v 1 (1998 – 2007)

Indicators of Coastal Water Quality

To provide tabular data on the trends of chlorophyll-a concentration on a pixel by pixel basis for identifying areas with improving, declining, and stable coastal water quality that can provide guidance for decision making in the context of coastal management.

NASA Data Helps Pinpoint Impacted Populations in Disaster Aftermath

Space & Earth science/Earth Sciences

A map of Burma, based on the SEDAC Gridded Population of the World (GPW) data product, reveals that coastal areas hit hardest by the cyclone in May 2008 were highly populated. (Areas in progressively darker shades of brown represent increased population.)
