EROS User Services
Expert support for navigating USGS EROS data and tools
Your trusted resource for USGS EROS data and tools. As the primary contact point for the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) center, we help thousands of users each year access and understand our vast archive of remotely sensed imagery and science products. From technical assistance and tool support, to training and outreach, our team ensures you have the resources you need to make the most of USGS EROS data.
How We Can Help
The EROS User Services team can provide assistance on:
- Access issues such as your EROS Registration System (ERS) Account and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Application Programming Interface (API) Access.
- Working with tools such as EarthExplorer, Global Visualization Viewer (GloVis), Bulk Download Web Application (BDWA), Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS), M2M API, Enhanced Visualization and Analysis (EVA) Tool, LANDFIRE Map Viewer and more.
- Questions about the data products themselves such as Landsat, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT), Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS), LANDFIRE, Annual National Land Cover Database (NLCD), Aerial Imagery, Declassified Imagery, and more.
Webinars
Launched in 2023, the EROS User Experience Webinar series provides no-cost training and seminars designed to help you access and use land remote sensing data distributed from USGS EROS. Each session features a USGS EROS staff member presenting information about specific datasets, tools, or services.
Previous topics have included:
- Walkthroughs of tools such as the BDWA, EarthExplorer, and the MRLC NLCD Viewer
- Deep dives on data products such as Landsat, EMIT, and Annual NLCD.
Have an idea for a future topic? We would love to hear from you! Email custserv@usgs.gov and your suggestions may be select it as a future webinar.

EROS User Services Gitlab
The EROS User Services Gitlab is an open-source repository designed to help developers and researchers work with USGS EROS data and tools. It hosts tutorials, scripts, quick guides, and case study that demonstrate practical workflows for accessing and using remote sensing data.
What you’ll find:
- Code example for working with Landsat Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs) in the cloud,
- Guidance on interacting with the Landsat STAC
- Scripts for searching for data using the Machine-to-Machine API
Explore the repository to streamline your projects and leverage EROS data efficiently.
