Our Network
CARIN is a platform to promote and support collaboration among remote sensing experts, researchers, academicians, NGOs, and relevant government agencies in Central Asia.
Where we work…
Remote sensing reveals the drylands of Central Asia using a long time series of MODIS surface reflectance data (from MCD43C4) processed using the “tasseled cap transform” to produce three factors displayed in this false color composite: “greenness” shown here in green is associated with vegetation; “brightness” shown in red is associated with the amount of exposed soil; and “wetness” shown in blue draws our attention to high-elevation snowy areas. Areas in flat black displayed open water. Very dark areas (thus low values in brightness, greenness, and wetness) are associated with very arid deserts.
