Do you like rock climbing or river rafting? From volcanoes to meandering rivers, Landsat shows us how our planet’s landscapes are reshaped.
Our dynamic planet is constantly being reshaped by natural (and manmade) forces. Landsat data helps scientists study where and how these changes happen, and sometimes even helps us figure out why.
