Vegetation, Water and Climate Dynamics
Vegetation, Water and Climate Dynamics
At EROS we use satellite, climate, and environmental data to study the health and extent of crops, forests, mangroves, grasslands, and other types of vegetation, and to document how plant communities are changing over time. We work with other agencies to map water resources, monitor water use, and assess the risk of drought in locations across the country and around the world.
Remote Sensing Phenology
Remote Sensing Phenology
EROS maintains a set of nine annual phenological metrics for the conterminous United States, all curated from satellite data.
Evapotranspiration and Water Use Mapping
Evapotranspiration and Water Use Mapping
A planet with limited water resources needs accurate, reliable and frequently-updated tools to measure water use and plan for future needs.

USGS EROS Archive - LCMAP- Continuous Change Detection Classification v1.3 (CCDC) Products (U.S.)
The Land Change Monitoring, Assessment and Projection (LCMAP) project has generated an integrated suite of annual land cover and land surface change products for the United States based on time series data from the Landsat record from 1985–2021. LCMAP Collection 1.3 Science Products are based on the USGS implementation of the Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) algorithm.
Eyes on Earth Episode 68 - Tracking Mangroves by Satellite
Eyes on Earth is a podcast on remote sensing, Earth observation, land change and science, brought to you by the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center. In this episode, we learn what satellites can tell us about mangrove forests.
