- Land use/land cover maps and images: The 1992 series of land use/land cover data was based on Landsat data at the 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 scales. The series was updated in 2000 with Landsat 7 data. http://lcluc.gsfc.nasa.gov/, http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/glis/hyper/guide/1_250_lulc
- The EROS Data Center (EDC) (http://edcwrw.cr.usgs.gov) is the main source for aerial photos and satellite images. EDC houses 8 million aerial photos dating back to the 1940s.
- More information on map products is available from the National Mapping Program (http://mapping.usgs.gov/esic/index.html).
- Finding and ordering maps on-line is provided by USGS MapFinder website, which allows users to locate and order USGS by ZipCode or place name (http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/Webglis/glisbin/finder_main.pl?dataset_name=MAPS_LARGE). Maps can be viewed on-line from USGS private partners (e.g.,)
- Microsoft’s TerraServer (http://terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com/default.asp)).
- NAPP has a user-friendly interface for searching, viewing, and ordering aerial photos called PhotoFinder, which, like MapFinder, allows users to search for and order aerial photos by zipcode (http://edc.usgs.gov/Webglis/glisbin/finder_main.pl?dataset_name=NAPP).
- USGS’s Earth Explorer (http://edcsns17.cr.usgs.gov/EarthExplorer/) data discovery and access tool (formerly the Global Land Information System (GLIS)) also provides on-line searching for specific products.
- As they do for map products, USGS private partners (Microsoft’s TerraServer and MapMart) provide on-line services for searching, viewing, and ordering aerial photos [see http://mapping.usgs.gov/partners/viewonline.html and http://mapping.usgs.gov/esic/esic.html]. TerraServer provides viewing of Orthophotoquads down to 1-meter resolution and downloading of JPEG image files. Try it: http://terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com/default.asp.
- The Landsat 7 Image Viewer gives users an opportunity to view on-line worldwide Landsat images. Three clicks of the mouse zeroes you in from a world map to the Landsat image of your region. Try it out: http://glovis.usgs.gov/
- NASA’s EOS Data Gateway is a web-based query system that provides information on a variety of data sets, with documentation, image browsing, and ordering services (http://edcimswww.cr.usgs.gov/pub/imswelcome/).
- For examples of satellite images depicting environmental change, see the Earthshots website (http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/earthshots/slow/tableofcontents).
Satellite data is available from USGS’s EROS Data Center’s DAAC (http://edcaac.usgs.gov/dataproducts.html) and from the EOS Data Gateway, (http://eorims.cr.usgs.gov/imswelcome) NASA’s web-based query system.
- The Earth Explorer website gives data availability display for any location. Images and data can be ordered on-line. You can preview some of the available images on-line, like DOQQs. Give it a look: http://edcsns17.cr.usgs.gov/EarthExplorer/.
- VARGIS provides 1-foot resolution photos for use in GIS. It uses MrSID, a file compression and expansion software developed by LizardTech, Inc., to compress very large digital files at 20-1 without loss of image detail. Using MrSID, one CD can hold images for all of Washington, DC, at 1-foot resolution. See www.vargis.com.
