Author index to published ERTS-1 reports Author index to published ERTS-1 reports
This index has been compiled to assist the reader in locating and obtaining reports on the 334 scientific experiments conducted under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Earth Resources Technology Satellite-1 (ERTS-1) (renamed Landsat) program. Each NASA-designated experimenter was required to submit written reports on his investigation: these were designated type 1...

ERTS imagery for ground-water investigations ERTS imagery for ground-water investigations
ERTS imagery offers the first opportunity to apply moderately high-resolution satellite data to the nationwide study of water resources. This imagery is both a tool and a form of basic data. Like other tools and basic data, it should be considered for use in ground-water investigations. The main advantage of its use will be to reduce the need for field work. In addition, however, broad...

College and university sources of remote sensing information College and university sources of remote sensing information
Research in remote-sensing applications has increased dramatically since the launch of the Earth Resources Technology Satellite-l (ERTS-l, renamed LANDSAT-I) and Skylab's Earth Resources Experiment Package (EREP). It is becoming increasingly more difficult to keep abreast of university research publications related to remote sensing. To assist researchers in locating those universities...

Studying the Earth from space Studying the Earth from space
Pictures of the Earth's surface obtained from satellites are providing scientists with new tools to investigate tne Earth and its environment. A growing population and an everexpanding technology place demands on our natural resources. However, man can no longer treat his resources strictly according to immediate economic dictates; a balance must be struck between the short-term demands...

First EROS/AID International Course on remote sensing First EROS/AID International Course on remote sensing
The First International Training Course on Remote Sensing held at the Earth Resources Observations Systems (EROS) Data Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, was sponsored by the Agency for International Development (AID), U.S. Department of State, from June 4 to 27, 1973. This course was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under Participating Agency Services Agreement (PASA) TA...

Optical data processing and projected applications of the ERTS-1 imagery covering the 1973 Mississippi River Valley floods Optical data processing and projected applications of the ERTS-1 imagery covering the 1973 Mississippi River Valley floods
Flooding along the Mississippi River and some of its tributaries was detected by the multispectral scanner (MSS) on the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1) on at least three orbits during the spring of 1973. The ERTS data provided the first opportunity for mapping the regional extent of flooding at the time of the imagery. Special optical data processing techniques were used to...

EROS: A space program for Earth resources EROS: A space program for Earth resources
The EROS Program, administered by the U. S. Geological Survey, works with representatives of departmental bureaus and offices to coordinate research and application of remote-sensing technology to the day to-day operations of the department. Most of the research and applications have been made possible by the experimental data acquisition systems of the National Aeronautics and Space
