The Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) operates as a partnership between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) dedicated to enabling natural resource managers, disaster responders, academia, and industry to investigate, characterize, and monitor land surface processes. By providing access to trusted, well-documented earth science datasets at no cost, LP DAAC supports a large community of users across science applications ranging from agriculture and geology to urban heat and wildfire mitigation. LP DAAC processes, archives, and distributes more than 14 petabytes of land remote sensing data from major missions.
