Below is a tutorial by Dr. Melanie Murphy that provides in introduction to the various types of landscape data available, their sources, and considerations for their use. Please note, this lecture was recorded several years ago. Remotely sensed data archives and access to free spectral data has really grown since these materials were created. The concepts hold, but there are many more resources available in 2026 than covered in this lecture. In particular, European Space Agency (ESA) data archive and data products are now freely available.
