LANDSAT MISSIONS

Since 1972, Landsat satellites have continuously acquired images of the Earth’s
land surface, providing uninterrupted data to help land managers and
policymakers make informed decisions about natural resources and the
environment. Data acquired by Landsat satellites are distributed from the USGS
Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center in Sioux Falls, South
Dakota.

LANDSAT COLLECTIONS



Landsat Collections are tiered management structures that ensure all
Landsat Level-1 products are produced to create a consistent archive of known
data quality

SCIENCE PRODUCTS AND U.S. ANALYSIS READY DATA



Landsat Level-2 and Level-3 Science Products, along with U.S. Analysis Ready
Data (ARD), contain higher-level data to allow scientists to better document
changes to Earth's terrestrial environment.

LANDSAT PRODUCTS AND DATA ACCESS

Landsat data products are continually being matured into the highest quality
possible. These products allow scientists to provide improved and more useful
results for land change and use analysis. Landsat data products held in the USGS
archives can be searched and downloaded at no charge from a variety of data
portals. 

 * Access available products.
 * Access Landsat Data Products.
 * Access Landsat Science and U.S. ARD Products.

USEFUL TOOLS & VIEWERS

Various files, tools, converters, and information to better understand Landsat
acquisition and how to search for Landsat data and products.

 * Open the Landsat Acquisition Calendar Tool.
 * Open the Spectral Characteristics Viewer.
 * Open the Landsat Path/Row - Lattitude/Longitude Conversion Tool.
 * Open the Landsat Archive Dashboard.


INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION

Landsat has always been an important component of U.S. foreign policy, science,
and technology policy. A longstanding network of International Cooperators
operate numerous International Ground Stations allowing direct reception and
downlink from Landsat satellites. In 2010, International Cooperators started the
effort to consolidate Landsat data acquired at worldwide ground station to the
USGS archive.

 * Learn about the Landsat International Ground Station (IGS) Network.
 * Learn about Landsat Global Archive (LGAC) efforts.
 * Become an International Cooperator (IC). 

 


EDUCATION AND OUTREACH RESOURCES

Landsat education and outreach resources can be used by students, teachers and
the general public to further understand the fundamentals of remote sensing,
Landsat technology, and how practical applications of Landsat data are helping
specialists manage Earth's natural resources for a growing world population.

INTERDISCIPLINARY SCIENCE APPROACH FOR HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS (HABS) AND ALGAL
TOXINS—A STRATEGIC SCIENCE VISION FOR THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Executive SummaryAlgal blooms in water, soils, dusts, and the environment have
captured national attention because of concerns associated with exposure to
algal toxins for humans and animals. Algal blooms naturally occur in all
surface-water types and are important primary producers for aquatic ecosystems.
However, excessive algae growth can be associated with many harmful effects
