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...

Survey of remote sensing applications Survey of remote sensing applications
Data from the first earth resources technology satellite (ERTS) as well as from NASA and other aircraft, contain much of the information indicative of the distribution of groundwater and the extent of its utilization. Thermal infrared imagery from aircraft is particularly valuable in studying groundwater discharge to the sea and other surface water bodies. Color infrared photography from...

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

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...

Mapping of the 1973 Mississippi River floods from the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) Mapping of the 1973 Mississippi River floods from the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS)
On March 31, and May 4 and 5, 1973, the first Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1) obtained multispectral scanner imagery over the Mississippi River below St. Louis, Missouri. The river was in flood, and the ERTS data provided the first opportunity for regional synoptic mapping of the extent of flooding at the time the imagery was obtained along a 1200 river-mile reach and some...
