Global salt marsh change represented in a bivariate color scheme.

The ORNL DAAC recently released a new dataset from the Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) project by Campbell, A., et al., (2022):

Global Salt Marsh Change, 2000-2019

This dataset provides global salt marsh change, including loss and gain for five-year periods from 2000-2019. Loss and gain at a 30 m spatial resolution were estimated with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) anomaly algorithm using Landsat 5, 7, and 8 collections within the known extent of salt marshes.

The NASA CMS program is designed to make significant contributions in characterizing, quantifying, understanding, and predicting the evolution of global carbon sources and sinks through improved monitoring of carbon stocks and fluxes. The System uses NASA satellite observations and modeling/analysis capabilities to establish the accuracy, quantitative uncertainties, and utility of products for supporting national and international policy, regulatory, and management activities. CMS data products are designed to inform near-term policy development and planning.

Additional data from Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) project and other relevant links can be found on the ORNL DAAC's CMS Project Page.
