Understanding Forests After Fire With Landsat and LiDAR
Field researchers Sarah Smith-Tripp and Lukas Olson stand in a high-severity burn with minimal tree cover in central British Columbia. This area burned in the Pelican Lakes Fire in 2015.

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.

Landsat at AGU24
The NASA Landsat Science and Outreach teams attended the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting in DC in December. At AGU24, they shared research and educated the public about Landsat.

Mangroves Are Losing Their Resilience
Mangroves, the iconic trees and shrubs of the Florida Everglades, are under increased stress due to more frequent, intense hurricanes.

Satellites Reveal a Greener Antarctic Peninsula
Using observations from Landsat 5 through Landsat 8, scientists determined that the area of vegetated land on the Antarctic Peninsula grew from 0.86 to 11.95 square kilometers (0.33 to 4.61 square miles) between 1986 and 2021.
