GIS/SatelliteLandSAT data"Landsat represents the world's longest continuously acquired collection of space-based moderate-resolution land remote sensing data. Four decades of imagery provides a unique resource for those who work in agriculture, geology, forestry, regional planning, education, mapping, and global change research. Landsat images are also invaluable for emergency response and disaster relief."

Its primary objective is to test the prediction that Arctic sea ice is thinning due to global warming." Check out the instrumentation on board:

Environment and moreClimate, Economics, Railway...A wealth of data, of all sorts! From economics metrics to climate change to infrastructure (African's railway)! A massive catalogue from the World Bank.

Our intent in producing the database is to create a research tool for specialists and non-specialists alike by collecting open-source information on operational satellites and presenting it in a format that can be easily manipulated for research and analysis."
