Other Carbon Storage Activities
The activity presented here is part of a larger set of activities created by the GLOBE Carbon Cycle team which looks at the carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems. There are also many other ways to use the forest service carbon data.Other Resources

Other EET chapters that contain related material include the following:
Visalizing Carbon Pathways—Use NASA's Earth Observatory, global map collection, NASA NEO and ImageJ to build several animations of satellite data that illustrate carbon pathways through the Earth system.
Using Satellite Images to Understand Earth's Atmosphere—Use ImageJ to create an animation showing the change in monthly concentration of aerosols over the course of a year and compare it to a similar animation showing change in carbon monoxide concentration.
Shrinking Forest - Growing Problem—Use time-series Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images to create a color composite image showing the oldest to most recently deforested areas in the Amazon rainforest.
