High rainfall totals in Kenya have caused the collapse of the Patel Dam, leading to destruction and loss of life downstream.
At the USGS EROS Center, we study land change, operate the Landsat satellites, and maintain the longest, continuously acquired collection of images of the Earth's land surface.
