New research uses NASA satellite observations and advanced computing to chronicle wetlands lost (and found) around the globe.
From Lake Pontchartrain to the Texas border, Louisiana has lost enough wetlands since the mid-1950s to cover the entire state of Rhode Island. Using a first-of-its-kind model, NASA-funded researchers quantified those wetlands losses at nearly 21 square miles (54 squ
