Landsat and Beyond

In 1972 NASA launched the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ETRS), now known as Landsat 1, and on February 11, 2013 launched Landsat 8. Currently the United States has collected 40 continuous years of satellite records of land remote sensing data from satellites similar to these. Even though this data is valuable to improving many different aspects of the country such as agriculture, homeland security, and disaster mitigation; the availability of this data for planning our nation\'s future is at risk. Thus, the Department of the Interior\'s (DOI\'s) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) requested that the National Research Council\'s (NRC\'s) Committee on Implementation of a Sustained Land Imagi...

Thriving on Our Changing Planet

We live on a dynamic Earth shaped by both natural processes and the impacts of humans on their environment. It is in our collective interest to observe and understand our planet, and to predict future behavior to the extent possible, in order to effectively manage resources, successfully respond to threats from natural and human-induced environmental change, and capitalize on the opportunities â€" social, economic, security, and more â€" that such knowledge can bring. By continuously monitoring and exploring Earth, developing a deep understanding of its evolving behavior, and characterizing the processes that shape and reshape the environment in which we live, we not only advance knowledge and basic discovery about our planet, but we further develop the foundation upon which benefits to society are built. Thriving on Our Changing Planet presents prioritized science, applications, and observations, along with related strategic and programmatic guidance, to support the U.S. civil space Earth observation program over the coming decade.

Space Studies Board Annual Report 2013

The original charter of the Space Science Board was established in June 1958, 3 months before the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) opened its doors. The Space Science Board and its successor, the Space Studies Board (SSB), have provided expert external and independent scientific and programmatic advice to NASA on a continuous basis from NASA's inception until the present. The SSB has also provided such advice to other executive branch agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Department of Defense, as well as to Congress.

Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation

Fernerkundung und verwandte Technologien, wie Geoinformationssysteme (GIS) und das Global Positioning System (GPS), haben großen Einfluss auf die Wissenschaften, Regierungen und auch Unternehmen. Dieses Buch soll in zwei Hauptbereichen genutzt werden: zum einen als Lehrbuch und Einführung in die Fernerkundung und Bildauswertung, zum anderen als Nachschlagewerk für wachsende Anzahl an Fachexperten, die Geoinformationen in der Praxis nutzen und auswerten. Aufgrund der Vielzahl von Anwendungsbereichen dieses Fachbuchs, sei es in den Wissenschaften, der Politik oder der Industrie, werden die relevanten Themen interdisziplinär behandelt. Jeder, der sich mit der Erfassung und Auswertung von Geodaten beschäftigt, sollte in diesem Lehrbuch und Referenzwerk wertvolle und nützliche Informationen finden.
