Adopt a Pixel 3 km, a new NESEC peer-reviewed publication

Adopt a Pixel 3 km, a new NESEC peer-reviewed publication


On November 18, 2021, the NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (NESEC, https://science.nasa.gov/science-activation-team/nesec) team members published a new peer-reviewed article in Frontiers in Climate, entitled “Adopt a Pixel 3 km: A Multiscale Data Set Linking Remotely Sensed Land Cover Imagery with Field Based Citizen Science Observation.” This data report documents Adopt a Pixel 3 km, a method for systematically collecting GLOBE Land Cover and Mosquito Habitat data with the GLOBE Observer app and classifying correlated high resolution satellite imagery. It documents data collected and analyses done by 74 high school research interns participating in the STEM Enhancement in Earth Sciences (SEES) summer research experience. Team members responsible for the publication included Dr. Russanne Low, Peder Nelson, Cassie Soeffing, Andrew Clark, and the 2020 SEES Mosquito Mappers Research cohort. Read the paper: Low, R.D., Nelson, P.V., Soeffing, C., Clark, A., SEES 2020 Mosquito Mappers Research Team. (2021) Adopt a Pixel 3 km: A Multiscale Data Set Linking Remotely Sensed Land Cover Imagery with Field Based Citizen Science Observation. Frontiers in Climate, 18. https://doi.org/10.3389/fclim.2021.658063. Award No. NNX16AE28A

The image shows examples of images produced during the gridded, systematic collection of citizen science data that can be compared with coinciding satellite data. From https://doi.org/10.3389/fclim.2021.658063

A tiled collection of logos for Zooniverse projects. Each logo consists of a square containing two concentric circles formed of thick lines plus a diagonal slash. The colors, textures, backgrounds (and sometimes foregrounds) of each logo are customized for each project. For example, a project about penguins features photographs of penguins in its logo.

NASA-Led Study Provides New Global Accounting of Earth’s Rivers

The novel approach to estimating river water storage and discharge also identifies regions marked by ‘fingerprints’ of intense water use. A study led by NASA researchers provides new estimates of how much water courses through Earth’s rivers, the rates at which it’s flowing into the ocean, and how much both of those figures have fluctuated […]

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
