Explore how NISAR will measure the constant changes in Earth's surface, from small movements of the crust up to volcanic eruptions.
Water
Explore how NISAR will measure coastal processes through periodic mapping of shoreline changes, ocean currents, wind velocities, ship locations and oil spills.
Cryosphere
Explore how NISAR will monitor changes in the world’s global ice, including polar ice, which, despite it's remote location, have global economic and health implications.
Ecosystems
Explore how NISAR will study variable biomass effects on global carbon budget and characterize the ecosystem disturbance and impacts on biodiversity.
