How Do You Landsat from a Delta in China
With rapidly rising sea levels and drastically declining river discharge, the Changjiang Delta, near Shanghai, China, is continually evolving. Using Landsat imagery, researchers focused on tidal level fluctuations to help understand the changes to the largest uninhabited island in the estuary, Jiuduansha island.

National Land Cover Database of the Cape Cod Region
This map of the Cape Cod region is created with the National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD). The dataset classifies land cover into categories such as developed areas, forests, wetlands, and water bodies, providing a detailed view of the region's composition.

Landsat 9 image of Northern Madagascar
The Betsiboka River in Northern Madagascar is seen in this Landsat 9 natural color image from December 7, 2021. Extensive logging has left the land vulnerable, and iron rich soils are washed into the river, coloring it a reddish orange as it flows to the Betsiboka estuary delta.

Human or natural? Landscape context improves the attribution of forest disturbances mapped from Landsat in Central Europe
linkDeforestation can happen naturally, through infestation of native beetles and extreme weather. However, people can intentionally clear forests for timber and other industries. Difference between the two can be difficult to diagnose.
