The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, which flew aboard NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavour in 2000, made the first near-global topographical map of Earth. While a lot of satellite remote sensing data is publicly available, for many researchers, taking advantage of it isn’t straightforward. “Once you start downloading satellite data, it gets into hundreds of gigabytes and thousands of layers.” Kapsar, Kounta, Zarnetske and collaborators are working on ways to provide geodiversity data to researchers and help close the gap. Their paper also offers a how-to for researchers who want to use satellite data to capture this complexity at other sites around the world and at different scales.
