Land Processes (LP) DAAC Printer-friendly version Add This

The LP DAAC at the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center ingests, processes, archives, and distributes data products related to land processes derived from two EOS sensors, ASTER and MODIS. The LP DAAC provides data crucial to the investigation, characterization, and monitoring of biological, geological, hydrological, ecological, and related conditions and processes. In doing so, it promotes the interdisciplinary study and understanding of Earth’s integrated systems.

Toxic red sludge from a breached reservoir at an aluminum plant at Ajka in western Hungary is shown in this October 11, 2010, simulated natural color image using visible and near-infrared bands from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). The flow impacted villages and eventually reached the Danube River.
