Cloud-free collections key for land monitoring
Satellite imagery is a crucially important tool for monitoring the land, but cloud cover can often block parts of Earth’s surface from view, limiting subsequent analyses.

New collections available: Cloud Free Landsat-5 TM and Landsat-7 ETM+ European and Mediterranean Countries
Two new data collections, Landsat-5 TM Cloud Free and Landsat-7 ETM Cloud Free collections, are available through the ESA Third Party Missions programme.
Data - Data Description
Landsat 7 ETM+ European and Mediterranean Countries Cloud Free Collection
This dataset contains the cloud-free products from Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper collection acquired over Europe, North Africa and the Middle East; for each scene only one product is selected, with the minimal cloud coverage. The Landsat 7 ETM+ scenes typically cover 185 x 170 km. A standard full scene is nominally centred on the intersection between a Path and Row (the actual image centre can vary by up to 100 m). The data are system corrected.

High-resolution optical images improve geological mapping in remote geothermal areas
A group of researchers carried out a study on integrating remote sensing analysis with geological and geophysical fieldwork, over the Cerro Domuyo mountain in Patagonia-this led to the use of GeoEye-1 data, which proved to be invaluable, highly improving their understanding of the magmatic and tectonic evolution of this geothermal volcanic area.
