We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Droughts Data Access and Tools
NASA’s drought data include estimates of forest carbon stocks, fluxes, and productivity and land surface open water cover maps. Our datasets and tools help users find and integrate the data they need to detect and monitor the extent of droughts around the world.
