Landsat Science Team, 2006-2011
The members listed below served from 2006 to 2011, meeting twice each year. The meeting agendas and presentations can be found on the Team Meetings page.
The team was instrumental in the following major developments, which impacted Landsat data use and the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM):
- Contributed to the opening of the Landsat archive, making Landsat data free for download for all users.
- Provided proactive advocacy for restoration of thermal requirements on LDCM.
- Recommended and encouraged the Landsat Global Archive Consolidation (LGAC).
- Advocated for future satellite missions.
- Established a foundation for higher level data products.
- Developed methodologies for using large volumes of Landsat data for long-term and/or broad-area studies.
- Published over 400 Landsat-related items.
