Move over, Death Valley: These are the two hottest spots on Earth

Share The Sonoran Desert is one of the new record holders for Earth’s hottest surface temperature. benedek/iStock Move over, Death Valley: These are the two hottest spots on Earth May. 19, 2021 , 1:40 PM Death Valley holds the record for the highest air temperature on the planet: On 10 July 1913, temperatures at the aptly named Furnace Creek area in the California desert reached a blistering 56.7°C (134.1°F). Average summer temperatures, meanwhile, often rise above 45°C (113°F).  But when it comes to surface temperature, two spots have Death Valley beat. A new analysis of high-resolution satellite data finds the Lut Desert in Iran and the Sonoran Desert along the Mexican-U.S. border have recently reached a sizzling 80.8°C (177.4°F).

Warnings from Earth s Third Pole --Climate Change at the Crest of the World

  “There is something about the Himalayas not possessed by the Alps, something unseen and unknown,” said mountaineer and botanist Frank Smythe…” a mystery intriguing and disturbing. Confronted by them, a man loses his grasp of ordinary things, perceiving himself as immortal, an entity capable of outdistancing all changes, all decay, all life, all death.” Acknowledging the blind hubris of our Anthropocene epoch , NASA is keeping a space-based eye on the Himalayas, Karakoram, Hindu Kush –The glaciers and snowpack of Asia’s three highest mountain ranges harbor the largest volume of freshwater outside the polar ice sheets, leading hydrologists to dub this region “The Third Pole”. One-seventh of the world’s population depends on rivers flowing from these mountains for water to drink and to irrigate crops.

Landsat, Sentinel Data Fusion Offers Potential of More Accurate ET Maps

Landsat, Sentinel Data Fusion Offers Potential of More Accurate ET Maps Release Date: January 26, 2021 Scientists at the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center have developed an algorithm that fuses Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 data in a way that generates more accurate daily evapotranspiration (ET) maps with a much higher spatial resolution. NDVI maps of the California side of the Palo Verde Irrigation District for three selected image dates (first column), and zoomed NDVI maps from Landsat (second column) and Sentinel (third column) That’s big news for those working in such fields as hydrology, climatology, ecology, and agriculture, where the quantification of actual water consumption is essential and critical. The fused data will mean additional support and benefits to policy makers and water managers trying to make informed decisions on sustaining limited water resources.
