- Description
- Several decades ago, USGS EROS employees were pioneers in land cover mapping—turning satellite imagery into a record of what covers the land, from farmland to forest to urban areas. National and global datasets with a variety of uses resulted from these efforts. In this episode of Eyes on Earth, we explore some of this history, along with how it benefited people at the time and the mapping efforts that would follow. Our next episode will look at two modern efforts at EROS, NLCD and LCMAP, and how their strengths are merging for the next generation of land cover and change products.

- The National Land Cover Database (NLCD) has a long history as the definitive U.S. land cover product. But the newer Land Change Monitoring, Assessment and Projection (LCMAP) effort takes a longer look back in time. In this episode of Eyes on Earth, we learn how the two projects at EROS, both based on 30-meter resolution Landsat satellite data, are merging to bring the strengths of each to future data releases under the NLCD name. This is the second of two episodes discussing land cover work at EROS, with the first focused on earlier pioneering efforts.

- Description
- The Landsat Program is considered the gold standard for satellite Earth-observation imagery. To keep it that way, the USGS EROS Flight Operations Team continually monitors the flight paths of the Landsat satellites to make sure they stay at a consistent 705-kilometer altitude. That means frequently speeding it up to counter the effects of atmospheric drag. But that’s not all. The team accounts for solar activity, space junk, and other factors to keep the satellites safe. Landsat 8’s 100^th^ Drag Make-Up maneuver in October 2023 gives us the opportunity, in this episode of Eyes on Earth, to talk about these and the other maneuvers the flight team executes and how they work.

- Description
- Here's a little extra bonus footage from an eruption at Beehive Geyser in Yellowstone National Park. It's not exactly sleep- or concentration-soothing like the other ones in our series, but we still wanted to share it with you. Depending on where you stand, you will get completely drenched, just as we did in this video (you can hear the microphone muffling from the silica water). For that reason and others, Beehive eruptions are very exciting to experience (as you can tell).
This particular eruption of Beehive took place on Sept 7, 2023.

- This video summarizes changes to the summit Kīlauea volcano since the 2018 caldera collapse. In the year after the 2018 collapse, a water lake began to rise from the bottom. It evaporated during about 90 minutes when an eruption started in Halemaʻumaʻu crater on the night of December 20, 2020. This eruption was the first of several that have slowly refilled the caldera following its collapse in 2018.

- Description
- The Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers deliver half the amount of sediment they did 50 years ago to San Francisco Bay. Just as sea-level rise is accelerating, the demand for sediment is growing.
The amount of sediment supplied to estuaries is important to the fate of shallow water habitats, including mudflats and tidal marshes. In San Francisco Bay, U.S. Geological Survey scientists and collaborators are investigating the influence of tides, waves, and water levels on sediment delivery and deposition in wave-exposed tidal salt marshes.

- Description
- On March 3rd, near South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Landsat 9 captured this dream-like image. This natural color view shows a weather pattern known as a “Von Karman vortex street," caused by prevailing winds from the southeast. A vortex street is a fluid dynamics pattern that describes the chain of swirling clouds created when air passes a volcano, mountain or island. These patterns are striking when found in Landsat imagery, but not especially rare. In fact this same Landsat pass contains another Von Karman chain about 80 miles to the south. Landsat’s 50 year archive contains many other examples. Scientists and communities around the world use Landsat images like these to study the Earth’s fluctuating surface.

- Description
- This is a remarkable film of the underwater landslide and tsunami at Valdez, Alaska, taken during the 1964 Great Alaska earthquake.
It has never been seen before in its correct sequence. There is no other film that we are aware of that shows the formation of a large submarine landslide.
It helps scientists understand the origin of these processes. From a human perspective, it is also valuable because it helps us understand how people respond to earthquakes.
Scientists hope to use their understanding of how the Valdez landslide developed to recognize the potential for similar landslides elsewhere, with the aim of reducing future loss of life and property.

- Description
- Cloud-free satellite views of Lake Saimaa in Finland are rare in January. But this Landsat 9 scene, captured on January 4th, reveals over 200 miles of winter shipping lanes. The water vapor from 3 large wood pulp factories can be seen on this shoreline. One is located in Lappeenranta, where the ice route begins.
Icebreakers in Finland often keep shipping lanes open through November and December, or until the ice is too thick to break. This route leads north, winding through the coniferous forest of Finland's “Lakeland”. Savonlinna is the home port of at least one local icebreaker, TYRSKY, which appears to be in winter layup as of January 3rd.
Icebreaking activity north along the route is still visible. Here, the route splits near Linnansaari National Park. One branch leads northwest, eventually reaching Varkaus, where another wood mill is visible. The east branch of the route continues on toward Joensuu.

Landsat sensors capture the region in false color infrared, emphasizing the reservoir's boundary.
In 2023, the fourth and final phase of reservoir filling was completed, with its water level settling 125 meters above the Blue Nile's original elevation.
Landsat captured imagery in 2022 after the phase three fill, as well as phase two in 2021, and phase one in 2020. Landsat imagery from 2019 shows the area before the official filling process had begun.
The final elevation of the reservoir has created approximately 70 islands with strong tourism potential, according to local officials.
