The Landsat program has maintained a continuous, global thermal record for over 40 years, supporting various long-term Earth observation scientific studies. We present an in-flight validation of Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 thermal infrared sensor (TIRS) data

Satellite‐Based Assessment of Methane Emissions From the Darvaza Gas Crater
Abstract Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and the Darvaza crater in Turkmenistan is a rare, persistent emitter. There are uncertainties regarding its formation date (either 1963 or 1971), fire ignition, and the fire's influence on methane release. Using historical Landsat imagery, we reconstruct the fire history, identifying that combustion began ...

Abstract Southern Hemisphere westerly winds are important drivers of Antarctic and sub‐Antarctic environmental change. Short observational wind records prevent us from fully understanding the scope of their variability. Proxy records provide valuable tools to extend environmental records. Here we present a novel wind study based on the use of windblown

Earth Observations in Social Science Research for Management of Natural Resources and the Environment: Identifying the Contribution of the U.S. Land Remote Sensing (Landsat) Program [PDF]
This paper surveys and describes the peer-reviewed social science literature in which data from the U.S. land remote sensing program, Landsat, inform public policy in managing natural resources and the environment.

Climate Warming and Ice Weakening Trigger Alpine Glacier Collapses: The Marmolada Case
Abstract The rapid retreat of temperate mid‐latitude glaciers due to global warming causes dramatic mass loss and increases their instability. Using a synthesis of thermodynamic and mechanical laws, we constructed a three‐dimensional stability model and applied it in the analysis of the collapse of a portion of the Marmolada Glacier in northeastern ...

Remote Sensing of Water Quality in Rotorua and Waikato Lakes
Remote sensing has the potential to monitor spatial variation in water quality over large areas. While ocean colour work has developed analytical bio-optical water quality retrieval algorithms for medium spatial resolution platforms, remote sensing of ...

Initial Assessment of the Detectability of Cyanotoxin Occurrence Using PACE Satellite Observations
Abstract Microcystin is a major public health hazard during freshwater cyanobacterial blooms, yet its remote detection remains challenging because it lacks any direct optical absorption features. We demonstrate that hyperspectral observations from NASA's PACE Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) can be used to detect elevated microcystin concentrations by ...
