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.
Landsat is Vital to American Agriculture, Forests
A recent national report finds Landsat satellites to be a vital source of data to support U.S. agriculture and forest activities in the United States. The report also supports the continuation of the Landsat Satellite Program as essential to Americans in terms of the value and benefits Landsat delivers every year.
Be Part of What’s Next: Emerging Applications of Landsat at AGU24
Anyone making innovative use of Landsat data to meet societal needs today and during coming decades is encouraged to submit and abstract for the upcoming “Emerging Science Applications of Landsat” session at AGU24.
New Tool Provides Rapid Evaluation of Water Quality
A combination of Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery, NASA near real-time data, and machine learning provides near real-time access to high-resolution water quality maps.

Remembering Bill Anders
Anders, 90, the astronaut who captured the iconic Earthrise photograph, died on June 7, 2024, when the plane he was piloting crashed into the San Juan Channel.
NASA Selects Raytheon Company to Build Landsat Next Instruments
NASA announced in a contract release that Raytheon Company will build the series of Landsat Next instruments. Landsat Next represents a quantum leap in measurement capabilities with improved temporal, spatial, and spectral resolutions.
