Hello, As an environmental advocate, I have recently created Treemaps and Barcharts using D3.js to visualize CO₂ emissions by country, based on UN data. Now, I am looking for similar and other useful environmental datasets in CSV format to expand my visualizations.

Could you please guide me on where I can find high-quality NASA Earth data in CSV format, covering topics such as:

Global CO₂ and greenhouse gas emissions
Deforestation and land use changes
Air quality and pollution levels
Climate change indicators (temperature, sea level, etc.)
Renewable energy adoption and trends
If direct CSV downloads are unavailable, I’d appreciate any advice on how to extract or convert relevant datasets into CSV. Your insights would be invaluable in enhancing public awareness through interactive data visualizations.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I think OPeNDAP service is probably the best solution:

https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/engage/open-data-services-software/earthdata-developer-portal/opendap

Please search for "ascii" in the above document.
It's equivalent to CSV.

After playing with the demo server in the above document, you can try NASA OPeNDAP services:

Hi,

NASA's VEDA (Visualization, Exploration, and Data Analysis) Dashboard provides data visualization and analysis capabilities on many datasets on the topics of your interest. I could recommend you check it out at https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/dashboard/. It may help you to get what you need.

Best,

Ok thank you. I tried through the given URLs. I couldn't find it in ASCII format. It's ok. I will try somewhere else. The visualisations on the VEDA dashboard was good though. I will come back to it later.
