Hi Francine,

If student your is tech-savvy-probably given the topic-then there are some python packages out there that can automate downloads. I don't have any experience doing this in practice, but it seems pretty straightforward.

Here are the results from the Python Package index:
https://pypi.org/search/?q=landsat

This one has pretty good documentation and downloads them from Google cloud<Google%20cloud>: https://github.com/dgketchum/Landsat578

Hi Francine,

Some starting points that might help, though not about imagery specifically, oriented to a technical audience, and getting long in the tooth. The principles could be useful though:


*         https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/8977/site-to-download-al-usgs-topo-maps-in-bulk/

*         https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/17989/how-to-download-the-entire-aster-gdemv2-dataset/

cheers,

Matt

Subject: batch global imagery downloading

[please forgive the cross posting]

Good afternoon folks,

Helping a student who is using artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret global imagery for geological purposes. The student has been testing this workflow using LandSat 8 (bands 6-7), ASTER shortwave infrared, and Digital Globe RGB. Since the student is looking to download and process imagery in large batches - the Earth Explorer and Digital Globe portals propose some unique challenges as imagery practically has be downloaded tile by tile. Wondering if there's a way to access any of these sources through a directory or batch download?

The researcher is open sources other than LandSat 8, ASTER & Digital Globe. The project is not geographically specific, and is using global imagery sources. It would acceptable if there were a license or cost associated with this data, as long as the batch processing and possible automation capability is there.

Your insight and expertise are greatly appreciated!

Best&Cheers,
Francine
