## Explore the World of Remote Sensing

Teachers and parents can always find something to intrigue their students in our library of educational resources! Learn how remote sensing scientists use Landsat satellite data to track changes to the Earth’s surface over the years. Study up in the **Remote Sensing Classroom**, where interactive lessons teach you to think like our scientists.

Test your new remote sensing skills with **our puzzles and games**. Engaging activities allow students of all ages to look at satellite imagery and perform the same analysis as the scientists at the EROS Center. 

**Discover New Places with Earthshots**

Landsat satellites have been imaging the Earth's land area for over 50 years. Each **Earthshot** location features a fascinating story of environmental transformation. These images reveal how people and nature change the landscape over time. Explore a variety of topics including glacial change, forest fire recovery, agriculture harvests, natural disasters, and wildlife impacts.

**Find Landsat Benefits in Your Area**

From mapping wildfires and permafrost thaw in Alaska to tracking algal blooms and spongy moth invasions in Ohio, the Landsat Program offers **a long list of benefits across all 50 States.** State-specific fact sheets pinpoint Landsat’s continuing contribution to the health and well-being of the nation’s land resources. Check out some benefits to your State!

## Stay Tuned with Current Events

The center’s Communications & Outreach team produces news articles and publications that spotlight the work of remote sensing scientists at EROS.

Many satellite images are simply intriguing to look at.  In the **Earth as Art galleries**, see the mesmerizing beauty of river deltas, mountains, and other sandy, salty, and icy landscapes.

In our **Image of the Week gallery**, videos highlight recent events in satellite images that feature striking changes to the Earth’s surface. Our images are actual scenes from around the world collected by remote lens, often filtered by specialized sensors in pursuit of science.”

**Eyes on Earth** is a podcast on remote sensing, Earth observation, land change and science brought to you by EROS. Look for a new episode every other week!

####                 Concept to Reality USGS Land Change Monitoring Assessment and Projection Pushes Boundaries              

More than a decade ago, Tom Loveland sat down to sketch out a few thoughts on land change and the Landsat archive.

The archive was and remains rich with history, adding new observations of the entire planet every eight days. But at that point, Landsat-based land change research was about comparing points in time – this year versus five years ago, to 10 years ago, and so on.

####                 Tracking Change Across Time and Space              

The U.S. Geological Survey took a bold step toward documenting change across the landscape with the launch of the first Landsat satellite in 1972. Since then, the orbiters have collected nearly five decades of imagery.
