Ultra fine resolution imagery is essential for assessment and validation of local land cover, and is a great aid in verifying global or regional modeling. With ground resolutions ranging from below one to four meters, this primarily US commercial resource is an important asset for any Earth science research. The GLCF makes available the NASA Science Data Purchase archive of IKONOS and QuickBird imagery, including 2127 IKONOS scenes and 3061 QuickBird scenes. Access is restricted to NASA affiliated researchers, per the SDP agreement, but is otherwise available for free to users via FTP. Visit www.landcover.org for further information. This valuable archive is available now.
