Remote Sensing Resources


Following is a link to the American Museum of Natural History remote sensing website. While this is by no means the only site for information on remote sensing, it is an excellent site to start from. It provides information on basic concepts, image interpretation, available data, and upcoming courses. It also includes tutorials, other training resources, and links to other sites.


Landsat 7 Data Users Handbook

http://landsathandbook.gsfc.nasa.gov/handbook.html A nice resource for using Landsat 7 imagery.


http://geospatial.amnh.org/remote_sensing


Here are several other interesting and helpful sites


LANDSAT Images of the U.S.A - Archive http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/ceps/rpif/landsat/LOYS.html An archive of Landsat 1-3 Multispectral Scanner imagery covering 48 states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii.) Indexed by U.S. states and cities.


Space Shuttle Photographs - Web Archive http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/ceps/rpif/sspr.cfm Includes shuttle photography of various locations throughout the world. Compiled by the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies (CEPS) unit within the Collections and Research Department of the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution.


Geography from Space
http://www.nasm.si.edu/geographyfromspace Test your geographic knowledge using satellite imagery and Space Shuttle and aerial photographs! Read the clue and try to determine the geographic features visible in each image. Appropriate for upper elementary and middle school.


Learning without Touching: What is Remote Sensing?

http://observe.arc.nasa.gov/nasa/exhibits/learning/learning_0.html A resource written for students featuring four lessons beginning with an overview of remote sensing, then an introduction to perspectives, concluding with remote sensing and its applications.


NASA Observatorium Education Resources http://observe.arc.nasa.gov/nasa/education/edu_index.shtml.html An extensive list of resources for teachers on remote sensing basics and online tutorials.


NASA Spacelink - An Aeronautics and Space Resource for Teachers http://www.nasa.gov/ A starting point to find educational materials on remote sensing and satellites. Includes search engine and library of NASA publications and web sites.


Included here is a list of sites that provide free remotely-sensed data and ancillary data.
