Time is of the Essence When Monitoring Dryland Floods
More frequent satellite observations, such as those of the Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) dataset, are needed to fully capture flood dynamics in regions experiencing short-lived, ephemeral flooding.
OSAM-1: Proving Satellite Servicing—Starting with Landsat 7
OSAM-1 Lead Systems Engineer Wendy Morgenstern discusses NASA’s On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing 1 mission to robotically refuel Landsat 7, a satellite that wasn’t designed to be serviced.
Wait! What is in That Landsat Pixel You Just Measured?
Data collected by citizen scientists like you helps land cover scientists evaluate the quality of the maps produced from satellites like Landsat.
How Scientists Used Acoustic Soundscapes and Satellites to Assess the Health of the Amazon Rainforest
Scientists from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland, College Park, investigated how the acoustics of a forest can be a cost-effective indicator of its health—and Landsat allowed them to see back in time.
50 Years, 50 Stories: Inbal Becker-Reshef
I use Landsat data alongside other satellite and field data to map where and when crops like wheat are growing, to analyze different management practices including when crops are planted and harvested, to assess crop health and to forecast end of season yields.
NASA Transfers Landsat 9 Satellite to USGS to Monitor Earth’s Changes
NASA transferred ownership and operational control of the Landsat 9 satellite to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in a ceremony in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022.
50 Years, 50 Stories: Chris Neigh
We’ve processed more than 224,000 Landsat images of the boreal forest, from 1984 through 2020, all to understand changes in tree-cover extent.
50 Years, 50 Stories: Morgan A. Crowley
In my Ph.D. research at McGill University in Canada, I used Landsat data to map fire progressions for Canadian wildfires.
