            "description": "Flying over the Brazilian Amazon with an instrument firing 300,000 laser pulses per second, NASA scientists have made the first 3D measurements of forest canopies in the region. With this research they hope to shed light on the effects of prolonged drought on forest ecosystems and to provide a potential preview of stresses on rainforests in a warming world.Complete transcript available. || Amazon_lidar_2018_final.00150_print.jpg (1024x576) [36.8 KB] || Amazon_lidar_2018_final.00150_searchweb.png (180x320) [21.4 KB] || Amazon_lidar_2018_final.00150_web.png (320x180) [21.4 KB] || Amazon_lidar_2018_final.00150_thm.png (80x40) [2.0 KB] || Amazon_lidar_2018_prores.mov (1920x1280) [4.5 GB] || Amazon_lidar_2018_final.mp4 (1920x1080) [705.9 MB] || Amazon_lidar_2018_final.webm (1920x1080) [17.2 MB] || 12982.AmazonLidar2018.cc.en_US.vtt [2.5 KB] || 12982.AmazonLidar2018.cc.en_US.srt [2.4 KB] || ",

            "title": "Deforestation in Rondonia, Brazil",
            "description": "In this animation of images from 1975 until 2012, acquired by the Landsat 5 and 7 satellites, enormous tracts of Amazonian forest disappear in Rondonia, a state in Western Brazil.Deforestation in Rondonia in the 1970s until the 1990s had a distinctive \"fishbone\" pattern. Access to this remote region began with a major road cutting through the dense tropical forest, opening up new territory for small farms and ranches. Then, other roads developed at right angles to the initial road. In this visualization, these roads shoot off a stretch of the main \"backbone\" road for about 31 miles (~50 kilometers) long, each secondary road branching off about every 2.5 (~4 kilometers). This creates the \"fishbone\" pattern. Even with the deforestation, Brazil is still home to more than a quarter of Earth's tropical forests. In addition to their astounding biodiversity, these forests act as a major carbon \"sink.\" These are places where carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by living things, like trees and plants, and thus the carbon is said to be trapped or sequestered. With increasing carbon dioxide levels around the world, the ability of these forests to hold onto carbon has beneficial implications for stabilizing the world's climate.NASA and the U.S. Department of the Interior through the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) jointly manage Landsat, and the USGS preserves a 40-year archive of Landsat images that is freely available over the Internet. The next Landsat satellite, now known as the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) and later to be called Landsat 8, is scheduled for launch in 2013. || ",

Two versions of this animation are provided: one with a day/night clock inset and one without. The animation was created using data from the GEOS-5 atmospheric model on the cubed-sphere, run at 14-km global resolution for 30-days.

            "title": "Deforestation of Rondonia, Brazil from 1975 to 2009",
            "description": "In the 1970s, Brazil's Program of National Integration built roads across the Amazon and settled land along these roads with colonists. These roads were catalysts of land use change in the Amazon.Brazil is also home to more than a quarter of Earth's tropical forests. Considering that the band of lush green that circles the globe through many equatorial nations is fundamental to the overall health of the whole planet's environment, careful monitoring of forest health in the tropics is essential. Tropical forests act as major carbon 'sinks', places where ambient carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be absorbed by growing things and sequestered for years. Definitive evidence shows that excess carbon dioxide can contribute to the greenhouse effect and speed global warming. Similarly, tropical forests also act as a primary producer of oxygen. In the respiration process that absorbs gaseous carbon dioxide, trees and other plants give off oxygen.Data taken in 1975 and 2009 from the Landsat series of spacecraft shows enormous tracts of forest disappearing in Rondonia, Brazil. || ",
