Their work informs mission planning and development and helps maximize the value of the Landsat archive through improved data products, expanded applications and strategic insight that helps the Landsat program continue to serve the public effectively.<\/p>\n<p>The Landsat Science Team will provide collective analysis and advice on a range of priority issues as defined by the USGS and NASA. In addition, each team member will lead research on a variety of topical areas deemed to be of interest to the Landsat program.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Research areas include atmospheric correction and calibration methods to ensure consistent reflectance across the Landsat archive. Team members will also look at improving data processing pipelines and interoperability with international satellite systems to support integrated Earth observations. Several studies are focused on land-surface processes, including crop condition, evapotranspiration, soil and residue detection, and non-photosynthetic vegetation, which support agricultural monitoring and conservation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Water cycle and aquatic focused research includes inland and coastal water-quality mapping, harmful algal bloom detection, and refined snow cover characterization. Additional studies address fire monitoring, volcanic activity, and geothermal systems. Other work is centered on developing tools that help translate Landsat data into actionable products for science, management, and policy.<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Landsat Science Team members and their planned research:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><u>Atmospheric Correction and Calibration<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pathfinding the steps to ensure global analysis ready consistent reflectance from the Landsat MSS to Landsat Next era<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dr. David Roy (PI)<\/strong>, Michigan State University<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Hankui K.
