ATTENTION

This is a LEGACY RESOURCE. It is no longer maintained but is usable with minor adjustments. This resource leverages NASA's Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis-Ready Samples (AppEEARS). AppEEARS has been deployed in NASA's Earthdata Cloud space. You can access AppEEARS using the new link: https://appeears.earthdatacloud.nasa.gov/. For up to date information on using the AppEEARS API and examples, please see the AppEEARS API Documentation. If you have questions, please contact LP DAAC User Services (lpdaac@usgs.gov).


Note: This video is one in a series that was presented as part of a workshop during the Ecological Society of America Annual Meeting 2020.

NASA’s Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) provides an introduction to the Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS) and other E-learning resources relevant to the Ecology community.

All of the videos in the series can be found here.
