In the late 1990s, DeFries and her colleagues combined Landsat analysis with global tree cover from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data to calibrate a carbon emissions product (DeFries and Townshend 1999). The Landsat mission continued its saga with the launch of Landsat 8 in 2013, which introduced next-generation Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) instruments (www.usgs.gov/landsat-missions/landsat-8). Basemap source: Google Earth using NASA Landsat imagery as back coverage. [Extracted from the article]
