Air- and spaceborne sensors have played important roles in ecology for decades. Currently, the NSF-funded National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is opening new avenues for ecological research by providing high spatial resolution hyperspectral imagery, along with lidar, from sites around the United States. However, due to the limitations of airborne campaigns these data are collected at most once per year per site. Looking forward, the NASA-led hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and thermal infrared (TIR) satellite mission, ‘Surface Biology and Geology’ (SBG), expected to launch in 2027, will revolutionize remote sensing science with the ability to monitor a host of key terrestrial and coastal ecosystem properties beyond what can currently be measured. Together with numerous upcoming and synergistic missions including the European Space Agency’s Copernicus Hyperspectral Mission (CHIME), the German Spaceborne Imaging Spectrometer Mission (EnMAP), Italy’s Precursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa (PRISMA), NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission as well as the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT), and sensors currently installed on the International Space Station like Japan’s Hyperspectral Imager Suite (HISUI) and Germany’s DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS), there will be a range of future opportunities for diverse, near real-time global spectroscopic remote sensing. These data, combined with an ecological remote sensing research community with the skills and background to use them, will significantly advance ecology as a data-intensive science. For this session we asked ten early and mid-career terrestrial ecologists to answer the question “What can you imagine doing with SBG-type data?”
