Landsat

"We also have this long land cover time series from Landsat, and we can look at how fires are changing the land plant cover and then tie it to changes in the solar-induced fluorescence signal. We find that wildfires are changing the land cover, which, in turn, can enhance the seasonality of carbon fluxes at large spatial scales."

Piper's three-decade-long study of loon behavioral ecology in northern Wisconsin intersects with Gline and Rose's use of Landsat imagery to calculate freshwater lake clarity.

The authors used images of Turkmenistan taken by NASA's Landsat-5 satellite, one of the first Earth-observing satellites.

Dr Bertie Miles went back through the entire image archive from the long-running American Landsat spacecraft series to assemble new, cloudless mosaics of Antarctica's coastline.

By using the proxy of the ice bumps in the Landsat images, the record of thinning observations can be pushed back a further two decades.
