TerraLook

   The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National
   Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is pleased to announce the
   release of the TerraLook data product. A TerraLook product is a
   user-specified collection of JPEG images created from Advanced
   Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) images
   from the NASA Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center, and
   Tri-Decadal Global Landsat Orthorectified images from the USGS archive.

   TerraLook will serve GIS, natural resource management, education, and
   other communities, and provide easily accessible remotely-sensed data.
   TerraLook images are designed for visual interpretation and display, and
   are of value to anyone who wants to see the changes to the Earth’s
   surface over the last 30 years.
