Landsat: Insights for a Sustainable Future

CEOS ARD surface reflectance and surface temperature data from Landsat 5, 7, 8, and 9 are accessible through Digital Earth Africa. These datasets provide multi-spectral information at 30-metre spatial resolution, covering observations from 1984 to the present.

Landsat data is open and accessible to all users.

Measuring Urbanisation

Shows how cities have grown over time and their effects on the landscape around them. By combining urbanisation data with factors like water extent, decision makers can plan cities to be more sustainable, improving the quality of life of those living in them, and minimising the impact on the natural environment.
