Oceanic islands represent sensitive indicators of some aspects of the Earth's dynamic systems.
Our index set of islands for monitoring includes examples at a broad variety of latitudes and local environmental conditions. Other islands are being added to this list, including the Selvagems, Gough, Balleny, Faeroes, and additional tropical examples. In the near future, we will post images of other islands for which we have additional remote sensing perspectives. This is a work in progress designed to illustrate a research project and some of the preliminary results associated with it. Peer-reviewed scientific journal articles associated with this work are in preparation and pointers to such articles will be included here for all interested readers.
