Stanford research shows the drying trend in Canada’s Peace-Athabasca Delta is linked to the long-term decline in populations of the semi-aquatic muskrat.
The patterns of large-scale tropical deforestation endure across landscapes, even after more than a half-century of tropical rainforest expansion and growth.
Multi-year comparison of Landsat images can unmask previously unknown geography.
The 2014 megafires in Canada’s Northwest Territories burned 7 million acres of forest, making it one of the most severe fire events in Canadian history.
As global temperatures rise, melting permafrost is expected to cause more frequent and hazardous landslides.
This is the first study to document more than three decades of land and water changes across Alaska.
Using a quarter century of Landsat data, geospatial researchers have mapped and modeled how vegetation responds to water availability across the entire Murray-Darling Basin.
A NASA study based on an innovative technique for crunching torrents of satellite data provides the clearest picture yet of changes in Antarctic ice flow into the ocean.
Revealing the dynamic nature of glaciers.
Glaciers have been receeding rapidly in many parts of the world, including New Zealand.

Using Landsat 8’s thermal data to monitor calving events in Antarctica.
Using Landsat data from 1984-2014 to investigate the blue carbon change in Louisiana’s coastal marshes.
A NASA study has located the Antarctic glaciers that accelerated the fastest between 2008 and 2014 and finds that the most likely cause of their speedup is an observed influx of warm water into the bay where they’re located.
The large rift that eventually formed iceberg A68 initially broke through a suture zone in the southern part of the ice shelf that had previously stabilized neighboring rifts for at least 80 years.
The Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on Landsat 8 captured a new snap of the 2,240-square-mile iceberg that split off from the Antarctic Peninsula’s Larsen C ice shelf on July 10-12.
The iceberg is about the size of Delaware.
A new Landsat-based data portal enables scientists to study in unprecedented detail how fast outlet glaciers such as this one move and change over space and time.
Scientists are providing a near-real-time view of every large glacier and ice sheet on Earth with Landsat 8.

From the Arctic to the Mojave Desert, terrestrial and marine habitats are quickly changing. Satellites are particularly well-suited to observe habitat transformation and help scientists forecast what animals might do next.
How do glaciers respond to present climate change, in particular how have ice flows evolved over the last few decades?
