Landsat: Past, Present, and Future Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 52769

Session Description:
For the past 46 years, the joint NASA-USGS Landsat program has collected and archived over 8 million scenes and represents the world’s longest continuous remotely sensed global record of the Earth’s surface. Recent improvements to the quality and usability of the Landsat archive have been made with the release of a collection-based inventory structure, Landsat Analysis Ready Data (ARD), and advanced Landsat Science Products. These archive improvements and data products have helped reduce the time needed to process and analyze Landsat data, a significant advantage to scientists, land managers and policymakers, who need make informed decisions about Earth’s natural resources and environment. This session will highlight the following topics:

  • Operating the Landsat Mission from data collection, archive, and distribution
  • Landsat Collections based studies
  • US. Landsat ARD time series analysis studies
  • Landsat Science Products
  • Integration/harmonized initiatives between Landsat and other sensors
  • Tools and algorithms for visualizing and analyzing the Landsat archive
