Satellite imagery can be used to learn about all sorts of environmental science issues here on Earth. This piece was inspired by research I worked on through the NASA DEVELOP program–a capacity building program that provides an opportunity to grow your skills in remote sensing while working in partnership with an organization who is also interested in learning how remote sensing could help them achieve their goals. For the research project, we used satellite imagery to identify turbidity plumes entering a river. The satellite imagery we worked with has a 3-meter resolution, meaning each pixel represents a 3-meter square on the ground. I made this piece to illustrate the resolution aspect of our work, along with an example of what a high turbidity stream joining the river looks like.
