Brazil's Arc of Deforestation Composite

This false-color radar composite presents part of Brazil's Arc of Deforestation, one of the world's most closely monitored environmental regions. Produced from NASA UAVSAR airborne radar observations, the image demonstrates the type of data that will be collected by the NASA–ISRO NISAR mission.

Rather than representing the landscape in natural color, the composite uses radar information to distinguish forests, agricultural land, waterways, and areas of human activity. The resulting patchwork of cyan, green, red, and orange forms an intricate visual record of environmental change across the Brazilian Amazon.
