Be Part of What’s Next:
Emerging Applications of Landsat at AGU24

              ***The AGU24 abstract deadline has been extended to 2:00 p.m. EDT on Monday, August 5.***

At this year’s AGU Fall Meeting, a session on emerging applications of Landsat data will be convened by the NASA and USGS Landsat 8, 9, and Next project scientists together with the USGS Earth Observation Applications Coordinator.

Abstract submissions are now being accepted now through August 5, 2024.

AGU24, Washington, D.C., Dec. 9–13, 2024; What's Next for Science
This year's AGU Fall Meeting will be held in Washington, D.C. from Dec. 9–13, 2024.

Session Details

This session will focus on emerging science applications of medium resolution optical data from Landsat that benefit society.  A diverse set of multi-modal science applications has been enabled with Landsat and Sentinel-2 harmonization and fusion with SAR and LiDAR among others. 

Continental to global scale Landsat data processing has progressed with access to high-end cloud computing resources. Analysis of Landsat data continues to reveal impacts from humans and climate change across the globe in land-cover, land-use, agriculture, forestry, aquatic and cryosphere systems. 

Building on the 52+ year legacy, Landsat Next’s enhanced temporal (6-day revisit), spatial (10 – 60 m), and spectral resolution (26 VSWIR and TIR bands) will provide new avenues for scientific discovery. 

Abstract Deadline

Abstract submissions are due by Wednesday, August 5, 2024.

Who Should Submit

Anyone making innovative use of Landsat data—alone or in combination with other Earth observation data modalities—to meet societal needs today and during coming decades.

Conveners

Christopher S. R. Neigh (NASA Landsat 8/9 Project Scientist; primary convener)

Bruce Cook (NASA Landsat Next Project Scientist)

Christopher J. Crawford (USGS Landsat Project Scientist)

Zhuoting Wu (USGS Earth Observation Applications Coordinator)

Data as Good as it Gets:
A Discussion with Brian Markham

Why do we calibrate Landsat data? We spoke with Brian Markham, a key figure of Landsat calibration science for four decades. He said that it all comes down to this: “If we’re using a system to quantify changes on the Earth, we must make sure the system we’re using is not changing.”
