EarthExplorerUse the USGS EarthExplorer (EE) to search, download, and order satellite images, aerial photographs, and cartographic products. In addition to data from the Landsat missions and a variety of other data providers, EE provides access to MODIS land data products from the NASA Terra and Aqua missions, and ASTER level-1B data products over the U.S. and Territories from the NASA ASTER mission. Registered users of EE have access to more features than guest users.Earth Explorer Distribution DownloadThe EarthExplorer user interface is an online search, discovery, and ordering tool developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). EarthExplorer supports the searching of satellite, aircraft, and other remote sensing inventories through interactive and textual-based query capabilities. Through the interface, users can identify search areas, datasets, and display metadata, browse and integrated visual services within the interface.The distributable version of EarthExplorer provides the basic software to provide this functionality. Users are responsible for verification of system recommendations for hosting the application on your own servers. By default, this version of our code is not hooked up to a data source so you will have to integrate the interface with your data. Integration options include service-based API's, databases, and anything else that stores data. To integrate with a data source simply replace the contents of the 'getDataset' and 'search' functions in the CWIC.php file.Distribution is being provided due to users requests for the codebase. The EarthExplorer source code is provided "As Is", without a warranty or support of any kind. The software is in the public domain; it is available to any government or private institution.The software code base is managed through the USGS Configuration Management Board. The software is managed through an automated configuration management tool that updates the code base when new major releases have been thoroughly reviewed and tested.Link: https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/

The ArcGIS Online US Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map collection now contains over 177,000 historical quadrangle maps dating from 1882 to 2006. The USGS Historical Topographic Map Explorer app brings these maps to life through an interface that guides users through the steps for exploring the map collection:

Finding the maps of interest is simple. Users can see a footprint of the map in the map view before they decide to add it to the display, and thumbnails of the maps are shown in pop-ups on the timeline. The timeline also helps users find maps because they can zoom and pan, and maps at select scales can be turned on or off by using the legend boxes to the left of the timeline. Once maps have been added to the display, users can reorder them by dragging them. Users can also download maps as zipped GeoTIFF images. Users can also share the current state of the app through a hyperlink or social media. This ArcWatch article guides you through each of these steps: https://www.esri.com/esri-news/arcwatch/1014/envisioning-the-past.

This is a tiled collection of the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) and is one meter resolution. The 3DEP data holdings serve as the elevation layer of The National Map, and provide foundational elevation information for earth science studies and mapping applications in the United States. Scientists and resource managers use 3DEP data for hydrologic modeling, resource monitoring, mapping and visualization, and many other applications. The elevations in this DEM represent the topographic bare-earth surface. USGS standard one-meter DEMs are produced exclusively from high resolution light detection and ranging (lidar) source data of one-meter or higher resolution. One-meter DEM surfaces are seamless within collection projects, but, not necessarily seamless across projects. The spatial reference used for tiles of the one-meter DEM within the conterminous United States (CONUS) is Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) in units of meters, and in conformance with the North American Datum of 1983 ...

The Global Data Explorer (GDEx) tool allows users to browse and download ASTER GDEM data based on geographic areas of interest or predefined regions, including state, province, and county (for the United States). Data output from GDEx is available in GeoTIFF or ArcASCII format. GDEx is the result of collaboration between the LP DAAC and George Mason University's Center for Spatial Information Science and Systems.

Raw aerial photography, orthorectified imagery, point cloud data, and digital elevation models (DEMs) for Whiskeytown National Recreation Area (NRA) following the Carr Fire. Sites within the NRA include: Lower Crystal Creek, Tower House, Grizzly Gulch, Boulder Creek South Shore and Conifer, Brandy Creek Camp, Shasta Divide, Paige Bar (North, NEED Camp, East, and Southeast), Chinese Laundry, and Coggins Park. Imagery was collected with two sensors (Ricoh GR II and MicaSense RedEdge) on a quadcopter flown at 400 feet above ground level immediately following the Carr Fire (October 2018) and 8-9 months after the fire (May and June 2019). Due to access, not all sites were flown during both collection periods. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center UAS data is available from Earth Explorer. To access: 1) Log in to https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov 2) Search for imagery by downloading the KMZ file below and selecting it within the KML tab in the Search Criteria (on Earth Explorer). 3) Specify a date range if searching for imagery from a specific collection period. 4) Click on Data Sets and select UAS - Raw/Orttho/Point Cloud/DEM (desired imagery format). 5) Click on Results to view and download imagery.

'Keyhole (KH) satellite systems- KH-9 acquired photographs of the Earth\'s surface with a telescopic camera system and transported the exposed film through the use of recovery capsules. The capsules or buckets were de-orbited and retrieved by aircraft while the capsules parachuted to earth. The exposed film was developed and the images were analyzed for a range military applications. The Keyhole (KH) satellite system KH-9 (Hexagon) operated between 1971 and 1984. The imagery generated are of historical interest and expected to support current scientific research on climate change and related fields of inquiry. Almost all of the imagery from this camera was declassified in 2012 as a continuation of Executive Order 12951, the same order that declassified CORONA. A subset of this declassified data was transferred to the U.S. Geological Survey\'s Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center. Please check the coverage map in EarthExplorer to verify the extent of coverage for the subset of images available from EROS. The Available images are primarily over the United States, Antarctica, and the Arctic Circle. The KH-9 program was designed to support mapping requirement and exact positioning of geographical points for the military. The KH-9 panoramic cameras captured high resolution (2-4 feet) images and the terrain camera captured high resolution (2-4 feet) images and the terrain camera captured moderate resolution (20-30 feet) images. High resolution images were acquired on 6.5 inch wide variable length film. The moderate resolution terrain camera acquired images that were printed to 9 inch wide variable length film. The digital products are produced from a duplicate positive film source. The use of browse imagery provides an opportunity to determine if the area of interest is covered and to check for cloud cover. The original film sources are maintained by the (http://www.archives.gov) National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). '

This link provides information and additional metadata related to the USGS National Seismic Hazard Maps. A direct shapefile download is available at https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/5db9be62e4b06957974eb5caBackground on Hazard Explorer Tool:The Hazard Explorer Tool is a web mapping application available in FEMA's Preparedness Toolkit that allows exercise planners to identify hazards that exist in their community, where their population is most vulnerable, and where their critical infrastructure/key resources are at risk.The Hazard Explorer Tool was developed under the National Exercise Program, which serves as the principal mechanism for examining the preparedness and readiness of the United States across the entire homeland security and management exercise. Communities design, coordinate, conduct, and evaluate exercises across the US as a part of their preparedness efforts.The Map Journal serves as a tool to help you identify and evaluate potential exercise scenario locations, hazard exposure, and other risk-related factors to support exercise planning. In this tool, you will identify:Which hazards exist near your location;Where your population is most vulnerable; andWhat infrastructure and resources would be most impacted in your selected scenario location.The final output of this tool is a basic PDF map of your selected scenario location, as well as links to data sources that you can share with your GIS staff to conduct more in-depth analysis for use in planning and conducting your exercise.For more information on the Hazard Explorer Tool, please visit: https://preptoolkit.fema.gov/web/hazard-explorer/hazard-explorer-tool

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) successfully collected Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) data over 80 percent of the landmass of the Earth between 60 degrees North and 56 degrees South latitudes in February 2000. The mission was co-sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) performed preliminary processing of SRTM data and forwarded partially finished data directly to NGA for finishing by NGA's contractors and subsequent monthly deliveries to the NGA Digital Products Data Wharehouse (DPDW). All the data products delivered by the contractors conform to the NGA SRTM products and the NGA Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) to the Earth Resources Observation & Science (EROS) Center. The DPDW ingests the SRTM data products, checks them for formatting errors, loads the SRTM DTED into the NGA data distribution system, and ships the public domain SRTM DTED to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation & Science (EROS) Center. Two resolutions of finished grade SRTM data are available through EarthExplorer from the collection held in the USGS EROS archive: 1 arc-second (approximately 30-meter) high resolution elevation data are only available for the United States. 3 arc-second (approximately 90-meter) medium resolution elevation data are available for global coverage. The 3 arc-second data were resampled using cubic convolution interpolation for regions between 60° north and 56° south latitude. [Summary provided by the USGS.]

The LidarExplorer was originally created to enable identification of lidar projects having 3D visualization enabled (via Entwine) and having Amazon AWS cloud access. Now that all of the USGS Lidar products are available in the Cloud and 3D visualization is being enabled for all projects, these original requirements have been satisfied.Moving forward this application will bring together the necessary information for discovering and understanding the underlying 3DEP elevation data and provide avenues for efficiently processing the data within the cloud to avoid the need to download and process data locally. Users will be able to define their area of interest, select and filter products based on needs, create processing pipelines for transforming the data into derived products or results and execute the processing using within-cloud processing capabilities.

The Earth-Observing One (EO-1) satellite was decommissioned March 2017. The EO-1 satellite was launched on November 21, 2000 with the NASA's New Millennium Program (NMP). The NMP was an advanced-technology development program created a new generation of technologies and mission concepts into future Earth and space science missions. Information of the EO-1 mission can be found on the EOPortal. All EO-1 ALI and Hyperion historical data will continue to be available through EarthExplorer for the foreseeable future. EO-1 Product Description

The Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite was launched November 21, 2000 as a one-year technology demonstration/validation mission. After the initial technology mission was completed, NASA and the USGS agreed to the continuation of the EO-1 program as an Extended Mission. The EO-1 Extended Mission is chartered to collect and distribute Hyperion hyperspectral and Advanced Land Imager (ALI) multispectral products according to customer tasking requests. Hyperion Instrument on board the EO-1 spacecraft

Hyperion collects 220 unique spectral channels ranging from 0.357 to 2.576 micrometers with a 10-nm bandwidth. The instrument operates in a pushbroom fashion, with a spatial resolution of 30 meters for all bands. The standard scene width is 7.7 kilometers. Standard scene length is 42 kilometers, with an optional increased scene length of 185 kilometers (additional information).

All Hyperion and Advanced Land Imager (ALI) data in the archive will be attempted to be processed to the Level 1Gst level of correction. If the scene fails the Level 1Gst processing level, it will be removed from the archive and will become unavailable. As of June 15th, 2009, not all of the EO-1 data has been processed; please continue to check back if the scene of your interest is not available. We will be making attempts to process the failed scene as time and workload permits; however there are no guarantees that all of the EO-1 scenes will be able to be processed.
