Remote Sensing

For this episode, we go inside the Landsat operations room at EROS to see what happens during a live Landsat pass.

Posters covered a wide range of topics as local graduate students and EROS scientists shared their work in the EROS atrium.

LANDFIRE is a diverse product suite with countless uses that go beyond fire management. The program has now been providing this satellite data for 20 years.

What can you learn during an internship at the USGS EROS Center? A lot! Several interns talk about their experience working a summer internship at EROS.

Data from Goddard Earth Observing V5 (GEOS-5 IT) are used in the Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 surface temperature algorithm.

In addition to their scientific value, many satellite images are simply intriguing to look at. Some might even remind you of actual famous works of art!

The EROS Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (eVIIRS) Global Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) collection is based on the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) data acquired by the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS), a collaborative program between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The...

Evolved from discarded parts, Phoenix scanners digitize the vast film archive at EROS to make it available worldwide.

Several digital elevation model sources are used in the processing of Landsat Collection 2 Level-1, Level-2, and Level-3 products. These sources, based on specific geographic regions, contribute to improved vertical accuracy in Collection 2 when compared to data processed in the past. Together, these sources are all known as the Landsat Collection 2 Digital Elevation Model (DEM).

Eyes on Earth is a podcast on remote sensing, Earth observation, land change and science, brought to you by the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center. In this episode, we learn about the usefulness of ECOSTRESS data in examining predictors for wildfire burn patterns.

An annual record of nine historical Remote Sensing Phenology metrics for the conterminous United States is available at a resolution of 375-m for products derived from eVIIRS data (2012-present).An annual record of nine historical Remote Sensing Phenology metrics for the conterminous United States is available at a resolution of 375-m for products derived from eVIIRS data (2012-present).An annual...
