Invasive grasses are degrading sagebrush in western states. Can sheep help us restore these ecosystems?

Researchers and other satellite programs rely on the scientifically correct data from Landsat—every pixel and every spectral band that is measured.

No longer used for spying, declassified spy satellite imagery is finding fascinating new uses.

The USGS Southwest Biological Science Center is coordinating the Southwest Fire Innovation Landscape Network to prepare fire and natural resource managers for rapidly changing fire landscapes by conducting research and building science-management partnerships. The network develops advanced tools and technologies to assess fuel loads and the effectiveness of fuel treatments, understand wildfire...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is helping to make the science work at EROS better and more efficient, as we continue to develop valuable data products.

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).
