About NebraskaView
NebraskaView is Nebraska's state node for AmericaView, a nationwide U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) program that focuses on providing easy, low-cost access to remotely-sensed data and promoting remote sensing education, research and applications. Our mission is to ensure that Nebraskans (e.g., state and local agencies, K-16 educators) make the fullest use of geospatial data products (such as Landsat images, digital aerial photographs, and digital elevation data) and technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS).
Announcements/NewsFree Landsat Imagery. The USGS has recently announced a timeline for releasing the entire USGS Landsat archive at No Charge over the Internet. Newly acquired, minimally cloudy Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) data covering North America and Africa are already available, with full global coverage of incoming Landsat 7 data becoming available by July 2008. The full archive of Landsat 7 ETM+ data (acquired since 1999) will become available by the end of September 2008. Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) data, both incoming and data acquired by the USGS since launch (1984) will become available by the end of December of 2008. All Landsat 4 TM (1982-1985) and Landsat 1-5 Multi-Spectral Scanner (MSS) (1972-1994) data will become available by the end of January 2009. As the Landsat imagery becomes available for free, all Landsat data purchasing options from the USGS, wherein users pay for on-demand processing to various parameters, will be discontinued. SPOT Image Data Offer for AmericaView. Under an agreement recently signed with the SPOT Image Corporation, AmericaView Members will have the opportunity to acquire archived SPOT data at a substantial (35-85%) discount.

New 2005 Land Use Map for Nebraska Now Available. As part of a project funded by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, 2005 agricultural patterns across Nebraska were mapped by personnel at CALMIT using multi-date Landsat 5 satellite imagery, field data from Nebraska Natural Resources Districts, and irrigation data provided by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. The NE-GAP Final Report and Data are now available in a 4 CD set. 150 copies of the CD set are available free on a first come, first served basis. They may be picked up at the University of Nebraska’s School of Natural Resources Maps & More Store, (101 Hardin Hall, 3310 Holdrege Street, Lincoln, NE) or contact mvaitkus@unl.edu for a copy.
