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.

Featured Tectonics Observation Method: Sentinel-1 C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar
The ESA (European Space Agency's) Sentinel-1A/B satellites are equipped with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instruments that record continuous all-weather, day-and-night imagery. SAR energy beams can penetrate cloud and tree canopy cover to detect very small changes to the height, shape, and position of Earth surfaces. The ability of Sentinel-1 to capture detailed SAR images anywhere at any time makes them excellent tools for producing interferograms and digital elevation models to track the movement of Earth's plates.
Join us as we show new and experienced users how to use Vertex to discover and access Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data at NASA's Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC).
NASA's ASF DAAC has rolled out the first tool in its planned Advanced Products Toolbox for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data with a single-command Radiometrically Terrain-Correct (RTC) tool. Join us for the tool demo and provide your input.
This webinar will introduce users to radiometrically terrain corrected (RTC) datasets and demonstrate the process of using Vertex to search for source granules, submit them for processing, and access the finished products.
NASA's ASF DAAC released the Global Seasonal Sentinel-1 Interferometric Coherence and Backscatter Dataset.
