Undamming the Klamath
Between October 2023 and October 2024, the four dams of the Klamath Hydroelectric Project were taken down, opening more than 400 miles of salmon habitat.
Landsat and Earth Science Education: Mapping NASA Earth Data to Next Generation Science Standards
NASA’s Science Activation team has created a graphic to help K-12 teachers find out which NASA Earth Science missions can provide real-world data most relevant to their Next Generation Science-based lessons.
Mapping Grasslands: An Underappreciated Ecosystem
Grasslands tend to get left out of conservation discussion. New research from the World Resources Institute maps how they’ve changed over the past 20 years.
Understanding Forests After Fire With Landsat and LiDAR
Wildfires have been increasing in frequency and size across North America in recent years. British Columbia is no exception to that trend; more than 4% of the heavily-forested province has burned since 2017. In 2023, Canada saw its worst wildfire season in recorded history. These high intensity fires affect ecosystem health and local economies, as timber is a major industry in BC.
Urban Heat in the Lower Mekong Delta
Looking at urban heat islands, researchers found that changing trends in vegetation influence land surface temperature in the Lower Mekong Delta cities.
Virginia Norwood Recognized by National Inventors Hall of Fame
Virginia Norwood is being posthumously recognized for designing the Landsat multispectral scanner system.
USGS Invites Federal and International Partners to Join the Next Landsat Science Team
The USGS, in partnership with NASA, is calling for applications to staff the next Landsat Science Team to serve a 5-year term from 2025 to 2030.
Maximizing the Benefit of Medium-Resolution Satellite Data: A Blueprint
A cadre of former Landsat Science Team members posit that realizing progress towards global sustainability goals would be substantially aided by 13 essential, regularly-updated global data products made with open-access and freely-available Landsat and Sentinel-2 datasets.

Monitoring Water Quality in South Korea
South Korea is facing a water quality problem. Researchers Hyunglok Kim and Seongjun Lee from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) embarked on developing a model to predict water quality indicators in near real-time.
