We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Anthropogenic/Human Influenced Ecosystems Data Access and Tools
From discovery to visualization, data tools such as the Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS), Worldview, and NASA's Oak Ridge National Laboratory DAAC (ORNL DAAC) subsetting tools guide users in making the most of human-influenced ecosystem data.

OLI
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) aboard the Landsat 8 satellite and OLI-2 aboard Landsat 9 measure in the visible, near infrared, and shortwave infrared portions of the spectrum. The instrument's images cover wide areas of Earth's landscape while providing sufficient resolution to distinguish features like urban centers, farms, forests, and other land uses.
Our experts break down the similarities and differences of Earth observation sensors operated by NASA.
The Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) project generates global land surface reflectance data every 1.6 days at 30 meter resolution.
Use NASA's Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS) tool to access data for an area of interest.
The release of the HLS codebase gives product users greater visibility into the project’s image processing pipeline.
