Title Reno Fire from Landsat: June 19, 2001
Abstract This animation is a simple zoom into the June 19, 2001 fire in Reno, Nevada. The original image is a Landsat 7 true color image of the fire between Lake Tahoe, Nevada and Reno, Nevada. Reno is under the smoke cloud.

Title Bolivian Deforestation from 1984 to 2000
Abstract The Landsat Project was started to study the land and land processes. The program is now working on Landsat 7. We are able to compare older data sets to newer ones. Using a Landsat images of Bolivia taken in 1984 and 2000, we can see the dramatic deforestation of the Bolivian rainforest.

Title Creating Landsat Images from Raw Data: San Francisco - Oakland
Abstract These images are compressed versions of high definition television (HDTV) images showing how Landsat data, which spans a very broad swatch of the electromagnetic spectrum, can be turned into images. The TIFF versions of these images are full resolution HDTV frames (1920 x 1080). All images have the HDTV standard aspect ratio (16:9). The Thematic Mapper (TM) on Landsat 4 and 5 observes reflected sunlight from the Earth all the way from blue in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum to shortwave infrared well beyond the ability of the human eye to percieve. The TM instrument also can observe infrared radiation actively emitted by the Earth from thermal infrared radiation. Landsat 7 carries an improved version of the TM instrument, called ETM+. In addition to 7 channels of spectral data collected by the older TM instruments, ETM+ can observe in a special panchromatic band spanning the entire visible spectrum at twice the resolution of the TM bands (15 meter resolution instead of 30 meters). The ETM+ also has a major improvement in the resolution of the thermal band (60 meter resolution instead of 160 meters). A standard way to create images from raw Landsat TM and ETM+ data is to display a single band as a primary color, then combine different bands to create a full color image. Images shown here demonstrate combining three bands to make a color image using TM bands 5, 4, and 2, which covers a very broad range of the TMandapos;s spectral coverage. It is also shown in combination with a digital elevation model. Terrain data is shown with vertical features exagerated by a factor of three to emphasize details.

Title Great Zoom into Don Juan Pond, Antarctica (treatment #1)
Abstract Antarctica is the coldest and most remote continent on Earth. It is also home to one of the most Mars-like places that scientists can study without actually traveling to the fourth planet. In this sequence we plunge from space down to a remarkably detailed view of a unique part of the Dry Valleys. By studying this place researchers think they might gain insight into how life on Mars might either survive now or have developed in the past. It is called the Don Juan Pond, and its one of the saltiest, coldest bodies of water on Earth. The zoom passes through 4 different resolution data sets including data from Terra, Lnadsat, and IKONOS.
