The MAAP platform is engineered to combine data, algorithms, and computational abilities to process and share Earth Science data at-scale in the cloud. It is employed by science teams using data from NASA’s GEDI (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation), NASA’s ICESat-2, ESA’s BIOMASS, NASA/ISRO’s NISAR mission, and more.
