Data in Harmony: NASA’s Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 Project
NASA’s Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) project is a groundbreaking initiative that combines data from Landsats 8 & 9 with the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2A & 2B satellites.
Expanding OpenET Across Amazon Basin
The research teams who help sustain the largest freshwater reserve in the world are developing a new tool to promote more resilient farming systems in Brazil. The goal is to help farmers better handle changes in the water cycle, deal with droughts, and adapt to a changing climate.
Scenes from the Polar Night
Landsat satellites have begun regularly acquiring images of ice at the poles during the winter, with enlightening results.
STELLA Spring Webinar: April 15, 2024
STELLA users will talk about their experiences using the DIY spectrometer during this webinar. Panelists include Bianca Cilento (RIT), Karen Karker (SUNY), and Peder Nelson (OSU and NASA GLOBE Observer).
Landsat 9’s Operational Land Imager 2: A Well-Known Instrument
Landsat 9’s OLI-2 instrument was characterized in unprecedented detail using a new laser-based method of in-band spectral response testing. A continuous relative spectral response dataset and pre-launch testing details have been published in a recent paper.
Bringing Earth Observations into Science Classrooms
Landsat outreach supported the NASA booth at the National Science Teacher’s Association annual meeting in Denver.
Satellites Show How Drought Changes Wildfire Recovery in the West
A new study using NASA satellite data reveals how drought affects the recovery of western ecosystems from fire, a result that could provide meaningful information for conservation efforts.

Landsat Outreach: Celebrating Earth Day 2024
On April 18 and 19, Landsat outreach coordinators Ross Walter, Allison Nussbaum, and Michael Taylor supported the Earth Day event at NASA Headquarters in Washington D.C.
Meat of the Matter: Colorado River Over-Consumed
More water is taken from the Colorado River than it has to give. Better water use accounting made possible by Landsat provides needed guidance for difficult water use decisions.
Australian Intertidal Zone Exposed: Landsat and Sentinel-2 Provide Information on Dynamic Region
This month, the Digital Earth Australia (DEA) team released a new Landsat and Sentinel-2 based intertidal data product. The new data set characterizes the tidal shoreline zone of Australia in more detail than ever before.
Landsat & LCLUC: Science Meeting Highlights
Outreach specialists from the Landsat Communications and Public Engagement team participated in community engagement efforts at the joint NASA and University of Maryland Land Cover Land Use Change (LCLUC) meeting.
