Landsat 5 Data
2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Alaska Coverage

New! All Landsat data collected through this program is available for free through the USGS's GloVis and EarthExplorer tools.

A successful joint program among UAF-GINA, USGS-EROS, and NOAA-NESDIS/FCDAS has allowed increased Landsat 5 coverage for Alaska since 2005.

The USGS National Center for Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS), NOAA/NESDIS Fairbanks Command & Data Acquisition Station (FCDAS), and UA Geographic Information Network of Alaska (GINA) have teamed up to provide Landsat 5 data for Alaska in summer 2009. Landsat 5 is an Earth imaging satellite with many applications, including resource management, crisis response, and hazard monitoring. The Landsat program has gathered a continuous set of data since 1972, making it one of the most successful and widely used satellite remote sensing programs. More project background is available in the GINA news release.

Two predictive catalogs for Landsat 5 acquisitions are available:
Displayed by fire management zone or for the entire state of Alaska.

Landsat Data Archive

GINA hosts several hundred Landsat 5 and 7 scenes. They are available for free download.

The Landsat for Alaska browsing tool is derived from the USGS GloVis tool. It was adapted from global to Alaska-region in scope as part of a cooperative program with the USGS National Center for EROS through GINA and UA’s AmericaView participation.
