LEDAPS

LEDAPS is a NASA-funded project to map North American forest disturbance since 1975 from the Landsat and ASTER satellite data. LEDAPS also produces maps of surface reflectance derived from Landsat imagery to support a variety of ecosystem studies. LEDAPS is part of NASA's contribution to the North American Carbon Program (NACP), a component of the USGCRP Carbon Cycle Science Program.
