![Potential for land cover to change from trees to grass, forb, and herb between 1987 and 2020 in the Teton Mountain Range. Image created from LCMS land cover data which are derived from Landsat 4, 5, 7, and 8 imagery (1987 - 2020). High transition potential is depicted in yellow and low transition potential is indigo. Transition potentials help to forecast land cover and inform land managers on the locations of suitable bighorn sheep habitat.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-03/2021Fall_ID_GrandTetonEco_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=q05PkvLT)

![Magnitude of largest model break in Continuous Change Detection Algorithm harmonic regression model, indicative of clearcut logging in the Oregon coast range forests. Imagery from Landsat 4-5 TM, Landsat 7 ETM+, and Landsat 8-9 OLI from across the study period 2000-2021 over standard hill shade. Patches of blue show clear cut areas with lavender then yellow indicating higher magnitude. Green areas represent forests untouched during the study period.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2024-01/2023Sum_MA_OregonCoastRangeEco_websiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=sGJs5DSB)

![NDWI-processed imagery from Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager data. This mosaicked image was taken from January to December 2021 of Jekyll Island, Georgia. NDWI contrasts the water features in a satellite image to its surroundings by measuring the moisture content. Low moisture content is shown in white, and high moisture content is shown in blue.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2023-02/2022Fall_GA_Disasters_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=_4Frkxe1)

![NDVI over Mato Grosso, Brazil processed from March 2021 Landsat-8 OLI data. Calculated NDVI values correspond with colors shown to indicate plant health. High NDVI values (green to blue) indicate dense vegetation found in tropical and temperate forests or crops at their peak growth. Low values (yellow to red) depict barren land, water, and moisture-stressed vegetation. These data can support timely and efficient agricultural responses to ensure productive yields and food security.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-12/2022Sum_NC_MatoGrosso_WebsiteImage_FD.png.webp?itok=JJA3kKJi)

![NDWI-processed composite image from Landsat 8 OLI data of the Lower Illinois River Valley and surrounding landscapes from summer 2021. Shades of pale yellow indicate dry vegetation and dark teal represents open water, while brighter turquois values depict wet vegetation. Areas of high NDWI values are demonstrative of high presence of wet vegetation and are of interest to the Great Rivers Land Trust in identifying areas of interest for wetland conservation.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-12/2022Sum_JPL_LowerIllinoisEco_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=eCvz2h8C)
