Decoding Geo: USGS Landsat Year in Review | Special Coverage

In this episode, Project Geospatial explores the USGS Landsat year in review. Landsat, a satellite program capturing Earth images for over 50 years, is invaluable for monitoring environmental changes and managing resources. The program’s recent report highlights its worth at $25.6 billion, showcasing its significant real-world benefits, such as improving flood mapping for farmers, saving millions in wildfire restoration, and enhancing water quality monitoring. With the upcoming Landsat Next mission, featuring advanced sensors and expanded capabilities, the potential for breakthroughs in research and economic value is enormous. The program’s legacy, including the retirement of Landsat 7, emphasizes the importance of accessible data for global collaboration and diverse applications. #Landsat #EarthObservation #SatelliteData #EnvironmentalMonitoring #ClimateChange #WaterResources #WildfireManagement #OpenData #USGS #AgriculturalMonitoring #GlobalCollaboration #SpaceTechnology #LandsatNext #EconomicValue #PublicHealth
