Delta-X is a 5-year NASA Earth Venture Suborbital-3 mission to study the subsidence and growth of the Mississippi River Delta in the United States. 

Average maximum temperature for a 24-hour period over an annual period.

Collage of dataset airborne imagery from AirSWOT, UAVSAR and the ASO lidar instrument provide examination of water level elevation estimates and changes.

Pre-DeltaX image highlights: AVIRIS-NG/UAVSAR Biomass (upper left), AVIRIS-NG Total Suspended Solids (lower left), and AVIRIS-NG Surface Reflectance (right).

The Channel Team's water filtering lab inside a local cabin. The team will process 800 liters of water to extract as little as ~100mg of material found in a liter of Mississippi water.

Spatial distribution of eight wolf study populations used in an assessment (from 2000-2017) of denning phenology in response to climate signals. The base map shows the day of the year representing the NDVI-derived start of the growing season in 2010. 

DEM of the Global Change Research Wetland (GCReW) site generated using the LEAN (LiDAR Elevation Correction with NDVI) method. LEAN uses ground measurements of elevation and NDVI in a multivariate linear regression model to estimate vertical bias.

Sites in Version 2 of the Permafrost Dynamics Observatory Project product. Green = data delivered in Version 2. Red = not delivered in Version 2 but will be delivered in future version. Yellow = not processed due to only L-band data being available.

Riverine N2O emission estimates from headwater streams (a, c, and e) and high-order rivers (b, d, and f) for the 1900s, 1960s, and 2000s. The right panel shows the latitudinal distribution of riverine N2O emissions with the uncertainty range as the standard deviation (shaded areas).

Data from the GEDI instrument on the International Space Station can help answer questions about Earth’s biomes and ecosystem impacts on the carbon cycle and climate. Credit: NASA
