The Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) is a key core capability in NASA's Earth Science Data Systems Program. Designed and maintained by Raytheon Intelligence & Space, it is a comprehensive data and information system designed to perform a wide variety of functions in support of a heterogeneous national and international user community.
The NASA website hosts a large number of images from the Soviet/Russian space agency, and other non-American space agencies. These are not necessarily in the public domain. Materials based on Hubble Space Telescope data may be copyrighted if they are not explicitly produced by the STScI . [1]
Using laser scans and GPS cameras, accurate down to one inch, the U.S. Geological Survey has so far mapped more than 600 landslides caused by Hurricane Helene. Geologists map hundreds of ...
Date Place Name/article Position Volume Comments Sources 1.4 Ma off northern Molokai, Hawaii: Wailau Slide 2,500 km 3: The northern third of East Molokai Volcano collapsed suddenly into the Pacific Ocean in a 25-mile (40 km) wide landslide with a 120-mile (193 km) run-out that climbed uphill 900 feet (274 m) from the Hawaiian Trough over the last 80 miles (130 km).
NASA and USGS 1999 Images Earth's land surfaces and coastal areas with global coverage at high spatial resolution. [19] Landsat-8: Active NASA and USGS 2013 Follow on to Landsat-7 with improved imager OLI and thermal sensor TIRS. Landsat-9: Active NASA and USGS 2021 Follow on to Landsat-8 with OLI sensor and thermal sensor TIRS-2.
A key objective of Goddard Institute for Space Studies research is prediction of climate change in the 21st century. The research combines paleogeological record, analysis of comprehensive global datasets (derived mainly from spacecraft observations), with global models of atmospheric, land surface, and oceanic processes.

The UNAVCO GAGE Facility, as a World Data Center, provided access to scientific data for quantifying the motions of rock, ice, and water at or near the Earth's surface. Geodetic Imaging Data is collected by various sensors deployed on satellites, aircraft, and on the ground to provide high-resolution terrain models and deformation measurements.
