Surface Biology and Geology
NASA's Surface Biology and Geology designated observable is a planned Earth-observing mission study within the Earth System Observatory. It combines visible-to-shortwave infrared imaging spectroscopy with thermal infrared observations to characterize terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, vegetation and algal health, snow and ice, hydrology, geology, active surface change, and applications such as agriculture, water quality, natural hazards, and urban development.
