Earth Exploration Toolbook Chapter: Visualizing Carbon Pathways

• Author: Ali Whitmer, LuAnn Dahlman
• Subject: Science and Technology
• Institution Name: SERC
• Collection: Earth Exploration Toolbook (SERC)
• Grade Level: Secondary

• Abstract: This EET Chapter will introduce you to visualization capabilities available through NASA's Earth Observatory. You'll build several animations of satellite data that illustrate carbon pathways through the Earth system. For instance, you'll build animations of fire images that indicate carbon is being released into the atmosphere. You'll also make animations of plant productivity images that indicate carbon is being removed from the atmosphere and locked into the biosphere. After you've built animations, you'll access another visualization tool to compare sets of other carbon-related data images by controlling their transparency.
