This interactive map contains examples of regional and global projects that utilize Landsat data to assist policymakers and land managers in making informed decisions about our environment and Earth’s natural resources.
Landsat satellites play an essential role in mapping the Earth. Through the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS), nearly fifty years of Landsat data is available for governments, municipalities, communities, and individuals around the world at no cost. The calibrated medium spatial data provides valuable information that supports a range of research and practical applications in scientific and policy areas.
