   How we interact with the environment has a noticeable effect on the land, air, and water. Scientists will continue to monitor the social and environmental changes associated with the pandemic, which provides a unique opportunity to characterize and study the effect we have on our planet.

+  ### Conclusion
+  Phytoplankton are essential to aquatic ecosystems, supporting marine food chains and contributing to the Earth’s oxygen supply. However, HABs can disrupt these systems, posing risks to marine life, human health, and industries such as fisheries and tourism. Factors like nutrient pollution from agriculture and other human activities contribute to the increase in HAB occurrences. Advancements in satellite monitoring and predictive models are helping scientists detect and analyze these blooms, allowing resource managers to take proactive measures to mitigate their impact.

   The EIS team integrates the Noah-MP land surface model within [NASA’s LIS framework](https://lis.gsfc.nasa.gov/) and Earth observations by assimilating soil moisture from the Climate Change Initiative Program released by European Space Agency  ([ESA CCI](https://esa-soilmoisture-cci.org/)), leaf area index from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ([MODIS](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/mcd15a2hv006/)), and terrestrial water storage anomalies from Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment and the follow-on satellites ([GRACE/GRACE-FO](https://earth.gsfc.nasa.gov/geo/data/grace-mascons)). Using this data assimilation approach, the team provides a daily global water cycle reanalysis product for 2003-2021 at a 10 km spatial resolution. This allows us to better quantify surface variables and groundwater, human management influence, and hydrological extremes. These resulting reanalysis datasets are publicly available and interactable via this NASA VEDA platform, including key water, energy, and carbon fluxes such as terrestrial water storage (TWS) and gross primary production (GPP). For more information, please visit the corresponding [VEDA dataset page](https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/dashboard/data-catalog?taxonomy=%7B%22Topics%22%3A%22eis%22%7D).
