Explore Significant Topographic Surface Changes in the United States

Topographic ChangeThe U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center Topographic Science team has developed a Web site that provides a wealth of data about topographic change across the United States. The USGS National Inventory of Significant Topographic Changes is available at http://topochange.cr.usgs.gov. The inventory is based on seamless multitemporal elevation data and land cover data. The need for more comprehensive information on the nature and extent of recent human geomorphic activity led to a spatial emphasis for the first ever accounting of topographic change across the United States.

Once the requested scenes are processed, an email notification is sent to the customer with instructions for downloading. These scenes will then become accessible to all users.

Landsat 7 ETM+ data can be searched, downloaded, or requested from EarthExplorer (http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov) or Glovis (http://glovis.usgs.gov).
