Seeking 2025-2029 Landsat Science Team
USGS and NASA have officially released the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the 2025-2029 Landsat Science Team. Proposals are due by December 17, 2024.
Landsat Takes the Temperature of Atoll Lagoons
Monitoring the temperature of tiny atoll lagoons is important for the local economy and ecosystem. A new study shows that Landsat can help.
Tony Willardson, Water Watcher
With Landsat-based ET embedded in more and more water rights and conservation tools, Willardson and the Western States Water Council are eager to see Landsat Next with its higher spatial resolution, more frequent observations, and additional spectral bands, built and launched.
Interested in Being Part of the Next Landsat Science Team?
The U.S. Geological Survey Landsat Mission announced a presolicitation for a new Landsat Science team. The Landsat Science Team conducts research that is integral to both the Landsat program and the Sustainable Land Imaging program.
Tracking Losses in the Amazon, Beyond the Rainforest
The Amazon is in trouble. Researchers found that, between 2000 and 2022, the Brazilian Amazon lost about 10% of its natural non-forest vegetation.
Tracking Elephants Across Namibia
In a new study, researchers used GPS tracking data and satellite imagery to map elephant movement in northwestern Namibia, looking for corridors of connectivity.
Could Land Surface Temperature Help Predict Earthquakes?
In Taiwan, earthquakes are linked to shallow stores of magma. New research explores this connection by linking land surface temperature with earthquakes.
Tundra Vegetation to Grow Taller, Greener Through 2100, NASA Study Finds
Warming global climate is changing the vegetation structure of forests in the far north. It’s a trend that will continue at least through the end of this century, according to NASA researchers.

Banding Together: Landsat Introduces New Spectral Band Comparison Tool
Ross Walter, from the Landsat Outreach Team, has turned a much used, but static, Landsat Spectral Band Comparison graphic into a dynamic, multifaceted tool that enables users to compare different sensors and output the comparison graphics they need.
Drought is Driving Fires to Burn Overnight
A new study tracks the shifting dynamics of wildfires in western North America. Using Landsat-derived datasets and active fire information from geostationary satellites, researchers found that fires are burning through the night more often—and drought is partially to blame.
