Tomorrow, August 26 SpaceX will launch an Earth observation–exclusive Falcon 9 mission, with 8 EO payloads. Likely the first of its kind, this is another showcase of just how rapidly the commercial EO market is growing. The satellites about to be launched include:

Landsat is not just famous for being the longest-running EO program. It is trusted because a pixel from 1984 still matches a pixel today, which is the result of decades of calibration, validation, and data stewardship. That continuity has been the backbone of open science and

Y además te va a hacer entender mejor la problemática de los #IncendiosForestales #iiff y qué podemos hacer. @rescodedios esto lo grabamos en julio, con El #Bierzo verde, sin saber que íbamos a estar rodeados de fuego. Estar informados y formados es fundamental #soyforestal

Ready to learn how to use LiDAR for research in #forestry and natural resources using #R? This week I am releasing a 7-part series to help you get started! Share with anyone you know who wants to get started. Part 1 covers acquiring, & viewing LiDAR data! https://t.co/55J69efgCM

What a week! 🚀🛰️❤️ Very excited the #SatelliteEmbedding dataset is now available in the #EarthEngine Data Catalog 🌎👀 — ICYMI learn more here: https://t.co/SRY1eCBA4Y (+ a small grants opportunity for researchers! 🧑‍💻) Can’t wait to see how you use it! 🗺️⚙️ #AEF

The NISAR mission is launching in a few hours from India. As someone working in Earth observation, I think it is one of the most important EO satellites ever because of the scale of global impact it could have. As an Indian, I am glad that it is a collaboration between NASA and

Our new AI model AlphaEarth Foundations is mapping the planet in astonishing detail. 🌏🔍 Scientists will now be able to track the impact of deforestation, monitoring crop health, and more – significantly faster, thanks to our new datasets. 🧵

Google just released the AlphaEarth Foundations with 64 dimensions of satellite embeddings at 10-m resolution at the global scale! It is very interesting! Check it out Blog post: https://t.co/6hOBuM7pT5 Dataset: https://t.co/uWDiCFDLls Paper: https://t.co/64Ga3gguxy #AI

The 2024 State of Canada’s Forests Annual Report is now available. This year’s report focuses on the evolution of forestry in Canada and the 125 years of the Canadian Forest Service. 🌲🍃 Read the full report to learn more: https://t.co/o2MrJ1OCzR

Our new publication at Environmental Research Letters: Evergreen forest loss and shrub/grass expansion are quietly remaking Arctic–Boreal climate extremes, and our new Environmental Research Letters study has the numbers to prove it. By incorporating 30 m Landsat land-cover maps

Waite et al. (2025) find that heat & drought affect Douglas‑fir red‑edge spectral indices differently by tree size—mature trees show steeper red‑edge declines mid‑drought than saplings. #UAV #Lidar https://t.co/opa9vGxdAa

#OTD in 1982, #Landsat4 was launched into orbit from #Vandenberg. Equipped with two imaging sensors, the #MultispectralScanner and #ThematicMapper, the mission represented a new era of #EarthObservation and #SpaceTechnology. Learn more here: https://t.co/GU3mJ7EGJV.

New release: Annual Tree Canopy Cover data for 1985-2023. This info from the USDA Forest Service Geospatial Office supplements the Annual National Land Cover Database (NLCD) for the lower 48 states produced at EROS. Explore the viewer and data here: https://t.co/7i0hIz7R2O

We tested ways to improve Canada’s National Forest Inventory estimates by integrating #Landsat-derived #landcover data. Combining sample-based plots with wall-to-wall maps boosted estimation efficiency and helped track tree cover change. #NFI Baral et al. https://t.co/a8wC212x8O
