Rise of the Halema‘uma‘u crater floor
This timelapse sequence shows one image per day over the past two months from the B1cam webcam on the east rim of Halema‘uma‘u, at the summit of Kīlauea. The images show that the floor of Halema‘uma‘u has been growing endogenously.

Eyes on Earth Episode 75 – Mapping Dust Sources Worldwide
Eyes on Earth Episode 75 – Mapping Dust Sources WorldwideClouds of dust kicked up in places like the Sahara can travel thousands of miles across the planet. We can see those clouds in satellite imagery, but we don’t typically know much about the composition of that dust. That’s a huge blind spot, because those unknown characteristics—such as the particles’ lightness or darkness—have an impact on what they do.

Landslides triggered by Hurricane Maria: Assessment of an extreme event in Puerto Rico
Landslides triggered by Hurricane Maria: Assessment of an extreme event in Puerto RicoDuring September 2017, Hurricane Maria triggered >70,000 slope failures throughout the mountainous regions of Puerto Rico (USA). Since then, the USGS has had a multi-faceted team working to understand landslide hazards in Puerto Rico.

Eyes on Earth Episode 74 – A Satellite Cross Calibration Mission
Eyes on Earth Episode 74 – A Satellite Cross Calibration MissionWhen the first Landsat satellite launched 50 years ago, it was the only game in town in terms of civilian land remote sensing. In the years that followed, a host of satellites have launched to serve similar purposes. But that data doesn't always play well together.

Kīlauea summit overflight video – May 10, 2022
An overflight at approximately 10 a.m. on May 10, 2022, provided aerial views of the eruption within Halema‘uma‘u crater. Lava continues to erupt from the west vent area, supplying an active lava pond in the western portion of Halema‘uma‘u within Kīlauea summit caldera.

Landsat: Celebrating 50 Years
The Landsat program conceived of in the 1960s, has been running longer than any remote sensing program. The idea was simple: position a satellite in a nearly polar orbit fixed to the solar angle so that each daytime pass would cross the equator at roughly the same local time.
