The ESRI Landsat app allows you to navigate the world with Landsat satellite imagery. Landsat takes images of the planet to reveal its secrets, from volcanic activity to urban sprawl.

Landsat sees things on the electromagnetic spectrum, including what's invisible to the human eye. Different spectral bands yield insight about our precious and continually changing Earth.

Over the past 43 years, Landsat has amassed over a petabyte of data, with over 4 million scenes and counting. It takes images of every location on earth every 16 days. You can explore historic images to see how places change over time.

The icons and the web app built for this project were put together in a week, as the team was notified that the images would be available via an Amazon S3 server for the public to view, with very little lead time. I was responsible for the icon design. Building icons for information like Shortwave Infrared and Agriculture was a challenge.

Overall, I think it turned out pretty cool. You can check out the app yourself here.
