Landsat at Work: Satellites Help Extinguish Wildfire Risk

“How much money did that save our community by making these investments?” said Keith Brooks, general manager of the Douglas Electric Cooperative. “It’s hard to quantify the fire that never happens.”

Eyes on Earth Episode 120 – Mapping the California Coastline | U.S. Geological Survey

Coastline erosion can change your favorite beach. But it can also affect highways and buildings. Landsat, along with high-resolution data, can be used to model the past and predict the future of changes caused by sea level rise and coastal erosion.

End of an era: Historic Landsat 7 mission takes final images | U.S. Geological Survey

RESTON, Va. — After more than 132,000 trips around the Earth and more than 3.3 million satellite images under its belt, the work of the Landsat 7 satellite is complete, even as the Landsat science mission continues with newer satellites.

USGS Finds New Way to Measure Ocean Depth with Landsat | U.S. Geological Survey

The launch of the joint Landsat satellite program was certainly a landmark for Earth observation more than five decades ago. Despite the program’s focus on land surfaces, some scientists imagined using Landsat to reveal more about water, too—and even, improbably, the seafloor beneath.

“For over half-a-century, the Nasa and US Geological Survey's Landsat program has documented changes to the Earth's surface, making it the longest continuous space-based record of our planet's land ever.
What has the program taught us about the Earth's transformation? And what's next for Landsat?...”

“With a trio of smaller satellites that can each detect 26 wavelengths of light, the Landsat Next mission is expected to look very different from its predecessors that have been observing Earth for 50 years. This new plan for Landsat Next, a joint mission of NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey, is designed to provide more frequent, and finer resolution, data of the changing surface of Earth…”
