Where the Wetlands Are
Documenting and protecting wetlands has become crucial to the eight states and two Canadian provinces thronging the Great Lakes.
LANDFIRE 2014 Update Completed for CONUS
The LANDFIRE 2014 Update for the conterminous United States has been completed, with Alaska and Hawaii soon to follow.
Using Landsat to Take the Long View on Greenland's Glaciers
A new Landsat-based data portal enables scientists to study in unprecedented detail how fast outlet glaciers such as this one move and change over space and time.
Landsat Images Provided to the Disaster Charter, Dec. 2016
You can think of the Charter as a one-stop-shop for impact maps—an essential resource, since in many cases satellite data are the only practical method to assess current ground conditions after a disaster.
Google Earth Has Updated Its Landsat-based Timelapse
Google Earth’s Timelapse gets an update.
Landsat Provides Global View of Speed of Ice
Scientists are providing a near-real-time view of every large glacier and ice sheet on Earth with Landsat 8.
