Description:
The Landsat Program provides the longest continuous space-based record of Earth's land in existence. Since 1972, Landsat satellites have collected measurements of Earth's continents and surrounding coastal regions that have enabled people to study forests, food production, water and land use, ecosystems, geology, and more. The long data record allows scientists to evaluate the dynamic changes caused by both natural processes and human practices.
This passage is mainly about the Landsat Program's
(A)techniques for collecting measurements
