Contact Information: Tom Holm ( Phone: 605-594-6127 ); The U.S. Geological Survey and NASA will honor their 25-year science partnership and ongoing advancements in land remote sensing at a ceremony in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on Thursday. Land remote sensing through the USGS-NASA partnership is vital to protecting and enhancing health, safety, national security, economic growth and quality of life in the United States. It provides information for critical scientific work such as domestic crop yield predictions that are critical for agricultural markets, famine early warning predictions, wildfire and drought monitoring, volcano and landslide monitoring, and earthquake studies. In August 1990, the USGS and NASA jointly established the Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center for collecting and disseminating critical land remote sensing information at the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science center in Sioux Falls. This hub archives data from various land observing NASA satellites, and distributes them to over 130,000 global users.
