Ice Fills Roes Welcome Sound
The Landsat 8 satellite captured an image showing sea ice packed into Roes Welcome Sound, located along the northwestern edge of Southampton Island and around Qikiqtaaluk Island in the uninhabited Canadian Arctic Archipelago. East of Qikiqtaaluk, ice drifts through the Frozen Strait, extending eastward into Foxe Basin.

JACIE: Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation
The Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation, better known as JACIE, was created to bring together the strengths of multiple Federal agencies.
Its mission is simple, yet essential, to evaluate remote sensing data, and share those insights with the entire remote sensing community.

Eyes on Earth Episode 137 – Landsat Takes Yellowstone’s Temperature
Eyes on Earth Episode 137 – Landsat Takes Yellowstone’s TemperatureThe Yellowstone National Park area has more than 10,000 thermal features. And while Old Faithful is a pretty predictable geyser, some thermal features can change quite a bit. New ones can even pop up! Remote sensing provides a tool for monitoring them—especially the thermal infrared sensors (TIRS) on Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 satellites.

Eyes on Earth Episode 136 – The EROS Test Site
Landsat has been accurate and reliable for over 50 years because of the diligent calibration and validation work done by the team at EROS. One of the ways the team validates what they have so carefully calibrated is to take measurements on the ground while Landsat passes by overhead.

Eyes on Earth Episode 135 – Exotic Annual Grasses and Sheep Grazing
Eyes on Earth Episode 135 – Exotic Annual Grasses and Sheep GrazingExotic annual grasses, or EAGs, are invasive species. They outcompete native grasses. They are extremely flammable. And they are expanding into higher elevations. Targeted sheep grazing is one way to combat these invasive grasses, manage fire risk, and help restore native sagebrush in western states.
