The United States Geological Survey (USGS) EROS User Services team is pleased to announce the upcoming “An Introduction to Landsat Data Access and Processing in the Cloud!” webinar! Please join us for this webinar as part of the EROS User Experience Webinar Series, where we talk to staff at the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) center to learn more about the data, tools, and services available from EROS that impact our data users.

This webinar session will highlight accessing and working with Landsat data in the cloud. Since December 2020, the USGS Landsat Collection 2 data archive has been available in an uncompressed Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COG) format on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Simple Storage Services (S3). Accessing Landsat data using this new access method allows users to retrieve and process specific areas of interest (AOIs) more efficiently without manually searching for data or downloading entire scenes. A cloud-based approach can eliminate time-consuming data transfers and storage, allowing users to focus on analysis and leveraging open-source tools. By working directly in a cloud environment, users can visualize and retrieve large-scale Landsat data in the cloud. This webinar will concentrate on accessing and processing Landsat products in the cloud. It aims to assist users in improving their existing workflows by utilizing common programming tools available in the commercial cloud environment. Information about Landsat data and how to access and work with the data in the cloud will be provided, including demonstrations of some of the newly created scripts from the USGS EROS User Services code.usgs.gov/eros-user-services space.

Our guest speaker will be Tonian Robinson, a Geospatial Cloud Support Scientist with the USGS EROS User Services and the Annual National Land Cover Database (NLCD) teams here at the USGS EROS.

This 1-hour webinar will occur on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at 12:00 pm CDT (UTC/GMT-5).
