Interested in Landsat Data Discovery and Access? Landsat satellites have been observing Earth's land surfaces consistently for over 40 years, providing the longest continuous space-based record of Earth’s land in existence. All Landsat data held in the USGS archives are publicly available at no charge. This joint USGS/NASA webinar provides viewers with information about: • Landsat data applications and usage • Basic technology of Landsat missions • How to find and download data for user-defined area of interest • Educational resources available for learning and teaching about Landsat For information about the joint NASA/USGS Landsat Mission please visit: http://landsat.usgs.gov http://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov ...more
