Seasonal Landcover Change over the Alps
The Blue Marble Next Generation data set provides a monthly global cloud-free true-color picture of the Earth's landcover at a 500-meter spatial resolution. This visualization of the data set shows seasonal variations such as snowfall, spring greening and droughts in a seamless fashion, thereby heightening awareness of changes in the Earth's climate. Here we focus on the seasonal landcover changes over the European Alps. This data set is derived from imagery taken in 2004 by the MODIS instrument on the Terra satellite.

This animation zooms into Northern Italy and shows seasonal landcover over the Alps and surrounding regions.    This animation zooms into Northern Italy and shows seasonal landcover over the Alps and surrounding regions.
