Tens of thousands of abandoned mines threaten waterways across the American West, but identifying which sites urgently need cleanup is slow and expensive. Now, NASA’s EMIT instrument can analyze the unique light signatures of mine waste from space to help focus remediation efforts where they’re needed most.

Biologists improve biomass mapping tools to better track carbon storage

In the far north regions of Earth, where forests stretch across Alaska and Canada, climate change is unfolding at an accelerated pace. Arctic and boreal regions are warming two to four times faster than the global average, putting immense pressure on ecosystems that absorb CO2 and help slow climate change. Through photosynthesis, vast expanses of vegetation naturally pull carbon from the atmosphere and sequester it in their biomass.
