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.
Landsat Reveals Role of Green Spaces in Cooling Cities
As any urban dweller who has lived through a heat wave knows, a shady tree can make all the difference. But what happens when there’s no shade available?
Finding Your Name in Landsat
More than 715,000 visitors have transcribed their names and messages into Landsat letters using the “Your Name in Landsat” tool since it was unveiled in August as part of Camp Landsat 2024.
NASA’s Brad Doorn Brings Farm Belt Wisdom to Space-Age Agriculture
From his South Dakota roots to leading NASA’s agricultural program, Brad Doorn’s mission has remained the same: help farmers feed the world.
Landsat Plumbs the (Shallow) Depths
Scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey have developed a new way to measure ocean depth, or bathymetry, in shallow nearshore environments using Landsat data.
Guardian Landsat on Firewatch
Landsat collects data that helps effectively deal with intensifying wildfires—at all stages of the fire cycle.
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.
