Landsat represents the world's longest continuously acquired collection of space-based moderate-resolution land remote sensing data. Four decades of imagery provides a unique resource for those who work in agriculture, geology, forestry, regional planning, education, mapping, and global change research. Landsat images are also invaluable for emergency response and disaster relief. (USGS)
Landsat’s 30 m resolution is ideal for measuring human impacts on the land. The consistency of Landsat’s digital image data from sensor to sensor and year to year makes it possible to trace land cover changes from 1972 to the present. Also, provide essential information to help land managers and policy makers make wise decisions about our resources and our environment.
