New Landsat Science Team Announced The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with NASA, has named the new Landsat Science Team that will support the world’s longest-running Earth observation mission for a planned 2026-2030 term.

Rounding out 2025 with exciting news… I’m honoured to join the 2026–2030 Landsat Science Team! A full-circle moment for me after starting my career using Landsat for fire monitoring. #EOChat #GISChat

#EOchat: Following last week's initial release of #NISAR L-band #SAR 🛰️ data by the #ASFDAAC, here's some sample data over northeastern #Guatemala. The large red splotches in the 1st 2 images (freq. A) are RFI artefacts, not visible in the 2nd 2 images (freq. B). #GoldenAgeOfSAR

Good to know! I also remember that the ASTER GDEM was challenging.

Thanks, Dr. Simmon! From your perspective, how would you say it compares to the Copernicus DEM? 🤔

Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) | NASA Earthdata Used to gather topographic (elevation) data of Earth's surface, NASA's SRTM used interferometry.

#GISchat: #OTD in 2000, NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) wrapped up its mapping of much of Earth's surface. For many years (probably until Copernicus DEM was released a few yrs ago), SRTM's output was considered *the* best quality global DEM. 🧐 www.earthdata.nasa.gov/data/instrum...
