Texas Landsat State Mosaic

Detailed Description

Tourists are drawn to the Texas coastline, but it is a frequent target of hurricanes.
Landsat documents storm damage and long-term coastal changes. Landsat data
are also used to study the urban heat island effect, helping communities identify
hotspots where human lives are at risk of heat-related illnesses. Because nearly
half of all water used in Texas is used in agriculture, Landsat data are critical to
making informed water management decisions.
