Integrated Land Change Monitoring
Integrated Land Change Monitoring
Phosphate Mining in Central Florida
Satellite images that have been continuously acquired for many decades represent a unique record of our planet’s surface. At EROS, we analyze satellite and other data to determine not only how the Earth’s land cover has changed over time, but also the driving forces behind the changes.
Annual National Land Cover Database
Annual National Land Cover Database
Annual NLCD is generated in cooperation with the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium (MRLC) a partnership of Federal agencies working together to produce current, nationally consistent land cover products.
Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection
Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection
Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) represents a new generation of land cover mapping and change monitoring from the U.S. Geological Survey’s EROS Center.

USGS EROS Archive - Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) - Orbital Pass Generation and Stitching
Orbital Pass Generation Nearly 45,000 individual observations were acquired during the first 30 months of this project. The number of individual scenes and overall data volume, an estimated 4.0 terabytes, are large by contemporary standards. As a result a new process was developed to improve data management.
USGS EROS Archive - Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) - Sensor Characteristics
Background The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is a broad-band, four or five channel (depending on the model) scanner, sensing in the visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This sensor is carried on NOAA's Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES), beginning with TIROS-N in 1978.
Landscapes of West Africa: A Window on a Changing World
Landscapes of West Africa: A Window on a Changing World is an atlas and unique dataset that uses time-series satellite image data and field-based photography to tell the story of wide-ranging land change across 17 countries. EROS scientists selected the years 1975, 2000 and 2013 to characterize the landscapes and create the product, which represents the broadest effort to map the region in history...
Land Cover Projections
Scientists at EROS look at local and global drivers of land-use change to project how different scenarios will impact and change landscapes. Using the FOREcasting SCEnarios of Land-use Change (FORE-SCE) modeling framework provides spatially explicit projections of future land-use and land-cover change.
Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications
The Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) and Applications project at EROS offers information used for a range of applications analysis needed for climate change analysis.
