Landsat RSE Special Issue - congrats!

[Frank Muller-Karger]

Dear Colleagues:

The special issue of Remote Sensing of Environment dedicated to Landsat is
out. Congratulations to the Landsat ST for a job well done!

This volume includes several papers that are relevant to aquatic/marine
applications of Landsat data. These papers represent a very substantial
step in making Landsat more useful to a larger community.

The following titles are of interest to the marine science community,
including in particular coral reef researchers:


Remote Sensing of Environment (Elsevier)
Volume 78, Issues 1-2,
Pages 1-220 (October 2001)

Landsat 7's long-term acquisition plan an innovative approach to building a
global imagery archive, Pages 13-26

Change detection in shallow coral reef environments using Landsat 7 ETM+
data, Pages 150-162

The paper by Terry Arvidson, John Gasch and Samuel N. Goward (Landsat 7's
long-term acquisition plan an innovative approach to building a global
imagery archive, Pages 13-26) documents the very significant effort that NASA
and the USGS have placed in covering global coral reefs. As a result of the
Landsat data acquisition plan, there is a very complete inventory of images
covering coral reef areas around the globe. Most areas have been acquired
more than once. Thanks to NASA and the USGS for this support.
