![Landsat 8 OLI derived MNDWI imagery mosaicked from October 17, 2020, to December 2, 2020. Located near the Río Patuca (Patuca River) in Ahuas, Honduras, permanent water and flood is represented as bright red and orange while blue depicts other land cover types and clouds. Examining floods from disasters like Hurricanes Eta and Iota helps decision makers improve mitigation and response efforts.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-03/2021Fall_MSFC_CentralAmericaDisasters_WebsiteImage.png.webp?itok=pweSILBO)

![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.

![Forest cover and land surface temperature (LST) around Maine's Penobscot River during Summer 2021. The shades of green distinguish between evergreen (dark) and deciduous (light) forest which were classified using Landsat 8 OLI imagery. The purple gradient corresponds to LST derived from Terra MODIS where the warmest areas, including Bangor, are white. Changing land use and warming temperatures along Maine’s rivers are associated with reducing juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) survivorship.](/sites/default/files/styles/lis/public/2022-11/2022Sum_GSFC_MaineEcoIII_WebsiteImage.jpg.webp?itok=EiYDdUqO)

![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)
