Extractions: The NASA Landsat Data Collection (NLDC) is a compilation of Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) scenes and Landsat thematic mapper (TM) scenes. This compilation of scenes represents data collections from four distinct projects including: (1) the Global Change Landsat Data Collection (GCLDC); (2) the Humid Tropical Forest Project (HTFP) collection of source scenes and products; (3) a collection of data from the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources Research (CENR) [formerly the Committee on Earth and Environmental Sciences (CEES)] historically referred to as the CEES collection; and (4) ongoing NASA Landsat data purchases starting with the 1996 fiscal year. The NLDC scenes have been screened for cloud cover and band quality resulting in a high grade, high quality data compilation. NASA Landsat Data Collection, NLDC

ASU graduate student Jim Rice sitting on a columnar basalt boulder brought down near Ephrata, Washington, by the catastrophic Ice Age Missoula Floods. Will Mars Pathfinder see boulders like this? Photo by K. Edgett, June 12, 1995. by Ken Edgett, Arizona State University "There's going to be fireworks on Mars for July 4th in 1997," Matt Golombek told us while I was driving our rental car up a winding road just south of Spokane, Washington. "What do you mean, Matt?' Jim asked. Jim and Matt were sitting in the back of the car. Vic Baker was in the front passenger seat, examining topographic maps of the hills. He was looking for a good place to view the entire Spokane Valley, part of a giant channel system formed by catastrophic floods when Ice Age Lake Missoula burst through an ice dam and drained from northern Idaho, across central Washington, down the Columbia Gorge and to the Pacific.

Extractions: How extensive are land cover changes? How fast are such changes taking place? What are the trends? What are the implications of current and projected land cover changes with regard to climate change, ecosystem health, biodiversity, and economic and human well being? INTRODUCTION: Dr. Anthony C. Janetos, Chief, Earth System Modeling and Ecological Processing Branch, Mission to Planet Earth, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington, DC SPEAKERS: Dr. David Skole, Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH Dr. Thomas Loveland, US Geological Survey, EROS Data Center, Sioux Falls, SD OVERVIEW Over the next few decades the global effects of land use and cover change may be as significant, or more so, than those associated with climate change. In addition to playing a role in climate, changes in land use and land cover are direclty linked to many facets of human health and welfare, including biodiversity, food production, and the origin and spread of disease. Yet, we know very little about this important human-caused agent of global change. It is a testament to this paucity of information that there does not now exist an accurate global map of agriculture, nor do we have good global measurements on the rate of forest loss.
Correction Of Landsat Imagery For Interannual Variability J. C. Eidenshink, The 1990 ConterminoUS US AVHRR Data Set and JA Sturdevant, TheNorth American Landscape Characterization Landsat Pathfinder Project. In http://elm.aero.und.edu/about/ERIM_MS2.html
Extractions: One of the important problems in rangeland management is the assessment of possible damage to grassland and shrub ecosystems by livestock grazing (Tueller, 1989). Rangeland assessments are made infrequently and are site specific; satellite remote sensing is often mentioned as a solution, particularly with long-term data such as Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Multispectral Scanner (MSS). Due to cloud cover, nearly cloud-free Landsat images are usually obtained once during a growing season and often only near the end of the growing season when the soil has low moisture content. Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data are obtained daily and composited to obtain a cloud-free image over some time period, which is biweekly for the Conterminous U.S. AVHRR Data Set (Eidenshink, 1992). 1995; Tieszen et al., 1997). However, AVHRR can not be used to assess rangeland degradation due to its large pixel size (Bastin et al., 1995). Landsat TM and MSS are useful for rangeland assessment in part because of the moderate pixel sizes of about 30 m and 80 m, respectively (Anderson et al., 1993; Pickup et al., 1993). Using a model calibrated to multitemporal MSS data, Pickup (1996) shows the effect of grazing is much less than the effect of precipitation variability on net primary production.

Extractions: Landsat data have been used by government, commercial, industrial, civilian, and educational communities in the U.S. and worldwide. They are being used to support a wide range of applications in such areas as global change research, agriculture, forestry, geology, resources management, geography, mapping, water quality, and oceanography. The images can be used to map anthropogenic and natural changes on the Earth over periods of several months to two decades. The types of changes that can be identified include agricultural development, deforestation, desertification, natural disasters, urbanization, and the development and degradation of water resources. The following summary of the Landsat system was derived from the Landsat MSS and Landsat TM on-line user guides published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) . These user guides provide detailed information about the Landsat Program and system characteristics, and include diagrams, sample images, and direct links to a glossary of important terms and acronyms. It is important to keep in mind that satellite images can be either classified or unclassified.
