This lesson introduces students to visualization capabilities available through NASA's Earth Observatory, global map collection, NASA NEO and ImageJ. Students build several animations of satellite data that illustrate carbon pathways through the Earth system. Students will also make animations of plant productivity images that indicate carbon is being removed from the atmosphere and locked into the biosphere.
