EMIT, the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation, is a scientific mission operating from the International Space Station (ISS). Its goal is to analyze mineral dust transported from arid regions and understand how this dust affects the warming and cooling of the planet. Join us in this exciting exploration and discover how EMIT is contributing to the future of our planet."
EMIT uses an imaging spectrometer to map minerals on the Earth's surface, generating crucial data to improve climate models, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and better understand natural hazards and biodiversity.
Explore an interactive map simulating NASA's EMIT to delve into surface reflectance, mineralogy, and greenhouse
gas observations in the regions under study. Dive in and discover the world through the lens of EMIT!"
Enhancing our understanding of mineral dust, its impact on climate, and the ability to detect and map greenhouse
gas emissions, contributes to climate change mitigation and improves natural resource management.
Join the exciting exploration of EMIT and discover how this scientific mission on the International Space
Station is helping us understand mineral dust and its impact on the warming and cooling of our planet. Learn more
