NASA’s Terrestrial Ecology Program
leads in providing remote sensing data, remote sensing data analysis, and modeling. Program Goal improve understanding of the structure and function of global terrestrial ecosystems, their interactions with the atmosphere and hydrosphere, and their role in the cycling of the major biogeochemical elements and water.
