Agricultural fields and forests

This overview of the fields in San Cristobal, Paraguay, is one of countless finely detailed images available in the Microsoft Planetary Computer. This vast, cloud-powered database lets scientists see a whole timeline of crisp satellite captures and environmental data for any location in the world. By analyzing this data, scientists can explore better ways to manage natural resources. For example, by comparing images and data with year-over-year crop yields, a scientist could find environmental clues as to why some years are more productive than others.
