Explore the World with Esri's Landsat Explorer App!
Discover the rich history of Landsat, a pioneering earth imaging and observation program jointly managed by NASA and the USGS since 1972. Landsat's mission to provide continuous and reliable data began with Landsat 4 and continues strong with Landsat Collection 2 Level-2 science products, offering imagery from 1982 to the present day, publicly available for analysis.
Access this invaluable data through the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, where Landsat Level-2 multispectral imagery is presented as a dynamic, time-enabled image service. This service, powering the Landsat Explorer app, provides a user-friendly interface for exploring and analyzing Earth processes and changes over time.
The Landsat Explorer app offers a range of features to make the most of this data, including:
- Visual exploration of a dynamic global mosaic of Landsat scenes.
- On-the-fly multispectral band combinations and indices for visualization and analysis.
- Interactive scene discovery by location, sensor, time, and cloud cover.
- Visual change detection over time, with Swipe and Animation modes.
- Analysis tools for vegetation, water, land surface temperature, and more.
Landsat imagery is crucial for tracking and documenting land use changes associated with climate change, urbanization, natural disasters, and human activities. This app harnesses the power of ArcGIS to provide an intuitive and insightful platform for exploring the wealth of information that Landsat imagery offers.
The Landsat Level-2 Imagery is a collaboration between Esri, USGS, NASA, and Microsoft, while the source image products are provided by USGS and are considered to be in the U.S. Public Domain. The Landsat Explorer app is licensed under the Esri Master License Agreement for informational purposes, with the accuracy of the information dependent on the source data.
