Remote Sensing Research and Development
Remote Sensing Research and Development
EROS has been an integral part of Earth observation science since the launch of the first Landsat satellite in 1972 and is renowned for its experience and proficiency in remote sensing technology. We have been providing technical expertise and services to the USGS and its partners across government, industry, and academia for decades.

USGS EROS Archive - Landsat Archives - Landsat Collection 2 Digital Elevation Model
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).
