The 3D Nation Elevation Requirements and Benefits Study was performed to document national requirements for improved topographic and bathymetric elevation data, estimate the benefits and costs of meeting these requirements, and evaluate multiple national 3D elevation program implementation scenarios.

The NHDPlus HR National presents a continuous representation of the most recent NHDPlus HR vector data for the contiguous United States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and parts of Alaska.

By the end of December 2022, all Landsat Collection 1 data and science products will be removed from USGS data access platforms. This depreciation includes Level-1, Level-2, Level-3, and ESPA- related products. Collection 1 has not been updated with Landsat products since December 31, 2021.

Landsat 7 image acquired on August 14, 2022 showing the Vall d'Ebo Fire near Pego, Spain. The gap-filled image is shown using the short wave infrared, near infrared, and red bands (Bands 5|4|3). This image was acquired as part of the Landsat 7 extended science mission which acquires data at 8 kilometers lower than the original science mission.

This paper presents dynamic surface water products over Canada from the first in a series of satellite sensors that will be used to develop a multi-sensor dynamic surface water monitoring system. The dataset uses 1984 to 2019 Landsat data to create annual water masks, inundation frequency and wetting/drying trends.

The Aorounga Crater located in Chad, Africa is a large impact crater that appears as a circular depression surrounded by a raised rim, as seen in this Landsat 9 image. The crater is surrounded by a vast expanse of desert and is known for its unique rock ridges, known as yardangs.

Landsat Updates are prepared periodically and distributed electronically to provide information about Landsat activities and related topics of interest. Read this issue here.

Examples of different radiometric resolutions over Chicago, Illinois. The left image is 16-bit radiometric resolution (65,536 discrete shades of grey), the center image is an 8-bit radiometric resolution (256 discrete shades of grey), the right image is 4-bit radiometric resolution (16 discrete shades of grey).

This Landsat 9 image, showing the Dallas - Fort Worth area of Texas, was acquired on July 15, 2022. This false-color image vegetated land in shades of red, whereas grays and whites indicate urban or rocky surfaces.

Two Earth-observing satellites turned to watch a lunar eclipse, revealing dramatic and uneven temperature changes across our closest celestial neighbor.

Over the course of the four-hour eclipse, the TIRS sensors observed the intensity of infrared light radiating from the Moon’s surface. From those radiances, scientists calculated the temperatures required to generate them. This “brightness temperature” of the lunar surface changed as Earth’s shadow marched across the lunar landscape.

Using Google Earth Engine and Landsat, this team created a rapid and robust tool for mapping historical flood inundation areas. This enhances existing efforts towards flood mitigation, monitoring, and management.

This screenshot shows what the Landsat Collections interactive looks like. This storymap collection combines all of the individual satellite storymaps into one location.

Landsat 9 launched into space on September 27th, 2021. The "first light" images arrived on October 31st. On that day the satellite captured: algal blooms in Lake Erie, the glaciers of the Himalayas, bush fires in Australia's Eucalypt Woodlands, coastal communities on the Florida panhandle, and deserts, mountains and mesas across the Navajo Nation.

An illustration of a mountain with water flowing from the top down to a river with smaller rivers flowing off the sides. Multiple items appear along the various rivers including leaky weirs, one rock dams, log dams, gabions, check dams, trincheras, and earthen berms. Informational bubbles appear alongside these various item in the illustration.
