Landsat Science Teams
Ensuring the continued success of the Landsat program
Led by USGS and NASA Landsat Project Scientists, Landsat Science Teams consist of USGS and NASA scientists and engineers, external scientists, engineers, and application specialists, representing industry and university research initiatives. The Science Teams are tasked with providing scientific and technical evaluations to the USGS and NASA to ensure the continued success of the Landsat program.
The overall responsibility of the Landsat Science Team is to offer informed advice and recommendations to the USGS and other partners on topics that will affect the overall success of the Landsat missions. Team members are knowledgeable on topics related to more effective use of archived data from Landsat sensors and on the requirements for future sensors needed to address the needs of scientists and other users of Landsat-type data.
Although the panel's role is advisory, Landsat Science Team members address many specific objectives:
- Represent the breadth of user perspectives and requirements on issues related to product formats and product generation issues
- Advocate for user needs
- Provide science-based feedback on critical design issues, including instrument and data systems
- Contribute to the specification and design of the data acquisition strategy and data access systems
- Consider interoperability of Landsat with other systems
- Conduct experiments on science and applications elements of the Landsat program; each PI must be involved in research that relates to the capabilities of the Landsat mission
- Provide insights on long-term issues (e.g., future missions)
- Participate in representation tasks (e.g., provide data for demos or presentations and represent mission in selected forums including scientific meetings)
