Land Product Characterization System
The Land Product Characterization System facilitates the application of multi-satellite and in-situ data for characterization and validation of satellite-derived land-related products.
Fire Danger Forecast Viewer
USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center, in conjunction with the US Forest Service Pacific Southwest (PSW) Region, has developed several new products for understanding and forecasting the probability of large wildland fires on all land in the conterminous U.S.
ESPA On-Demand Interface
The USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center Science Processing Architecture (ESPA) On-Demand Interface is used to request processing and services for Landsat Science Products and some MODIS archives.
EarthNow! Landsat Image Viewer
The EarthNow! Landsat Image Viewer displays imagery in near real-time as Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 orbit the Earth. Along with the near real-time video stream, EarthNow! also replays acquisition recordings from a list of previous Landsat overpasses. When Landsat 7 or Landsat 8 are out of viewing range of a ground station, the most recent overpass is displayed.
Data Release: Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, Hyperspectral Algal Samples
Hyperspectral microscope images of algal samples collected from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, from August 15, 2016 to September 30, 2016.
GloVis
The USGS Global Visualization Viewer (GloVis) is an online search and order tool for selected remote sensing data.
Find and Access Remotely Sensed Data
This link takes you to the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center remotely sensed land data archive, which contains millions of satellite images, as well as aerial photos, digitized maps, elevation and land cover products, and much more. Most are easily downloadable via the internet.
Hazards Data Distribution System (HDDS) Explorer
The Hazards Data Distribution System (HDDSExplorer) is an event-based interface that provides a single point-of-entry for access to remotely sensed imagery and other geospatial datasets as they become available during a response.
