Meeting Of Waters
- This Envisat image features the confluence of the Amazon Basin's main ‘black’ and ‘white’ rivers – the Rio Negro and the Solimões respectively
– forming the Amazon River just below Manaus, Brazil.

Rio Negro (visible flowing east-southeast) is the largest tributary of the Amazon and the world’s largest black-water river. The term ‘black river’
describes the appearance of the coffee-coloured water, which results from dissolved decaying vegetable matter that gets carried along the river. (more)

Global Vegetation
- Food, fuel, and shelter: vegetation is one of the most important requirements for human populations around the world. Satellites monitor
how “green” different parts of the planet are and how that greenness changes over time. These observations can help scientists understand
the influence of natural cycles, such as drought and pest outbreaks, on vegetation, as well as human influences, such as land-clearing and
global warming. (more)
