Landsat urban growth sequence for Las Vegas 3509 Las Vegas Growth from Landsat
Earth lights at night for the entire earth. 2916 Earth At Night (WMS)
Urban growth in the Pearl River Estuary near Shenzhen, China, from 1973 to 2001 as measured by Landsat 2911 Urbanization around the Pearl River Estuary in China from 1973 through 2001 (WMS)
This animation zooms down to Shenzhen, China and dissolves between images of city from 1973 to 2001. 2763 Landsat-7 20-Year Urbanization of Shenzhen, China
This annimation zooms down to Shenzhen, China and dissolves between images of city from 1973 to 2001. 2762 Landsat 7 20 Year Urbanization West of Shenzhen, China
The long operational history of the Landsat satellite allows a detailed study of urban growth around the world, as illustrated by this animation of urbanization in the Deep Bay region around Shenzen, China. 2761 Landsat-7 20 Year Urbanization of Deep Bay near Shenzhen, China
This Landsat data from 1986 of the Baltimore area, however a special algorithm has been applied to it to illuminate the changes in low-density residential land use which exemplify sprawl. 2637 Impervious Data of the Baltimore Area.
This Landsat data from 1986 of the Washington area, however a special algorithm has been applied to it to illuminate the changes in low-density residential land use which exemplify sprawl. 2636 Impervious Data of the Washington, DC Area.
This Landsat data from 1986 of the Washington-Baltimore area, however a special algorithm has been applied to it to illuminate the changes in low-density residential land use which exemplify sprawl. 2634 Impervious Data of the Washington, DC and Baltimore, Maryland Area.
This edited movie combines four different years of Landsat imagery to show how the city of Las Vegas grew between the years 1972 and 2006. 10184 Urban Growth in Las Vegas

Movie ID Title
Landsat urban growth sequence for Las Vegas 3509 Las Vegas Growth from Landsat
This image shows sensible heat flux (watts per square meter) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The warm urban areas have higher positive flux (heat flowing towards the atmosphere) and stand out very distinctly against their surroundings. 3157 Urban Signatures: Sensible Heat Flux (WMS)
This image shows latent heat flux (watts per square meter) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their surroundings, which have more evaporation and therefore greater latent heat flux. 3156 Urban Signatures: Latent Heat Flux (WMS)
This image shows outgoing thermal radiation (watts per square meter) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their less radiative surroundings. 3155 Urban Signatures: Thermal Radiation (WMS)
This image shows evaporation rate (milligrams per square meter per second) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their more evaporative surroundings. 3154 Urban Signatures: Evaporation (WMS)
This image shows average surface temperatures predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. Temperatures range from 9 C to 35 C (48F to 95F), with the hottest areas being red and dark red. Temperatures are generally cooler farther north and at higher elevations. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their surroundings. 3152 Urban Signatures: Temperature (WMS)
Urban growth in the Pearl River Estuary near Shenzhen, China, from 1973 to 2001 as measured by Landsat 2911 Urbanization around the Pearl River Estuary in China from 1973 through 2001 (WMS)
