2012-2017 Landsat Science Team

As recognized national and international leaders in land remote sensing, 2012-2017 Landsat Science Team members were tasked with evaluating issues of importance to all Landsat users. They played a key role in ensuring that data from future missions are successfully integrated with already archived remotely sensed data for the purpose of observing national and global environmental systems

 Return to Landsat Science Team Overview  

The 2012-2017 Landsat Science Team agency co-chairs were Dr. Tom Loveland (USGS EROS Center) and Dr. Jim Irons (NASA GSFC). The co-leaders were Dr. Curtis Woodcock (Boston University) and Dr. David Roy (South Dakota State University).

Meeting agendas and presentations are available on the Meetings page.
