Collection 2 represents a major leap in geometric accuracy, atmospheric correction, and accessibility via cloud computing. 2. Key Technical Advancements in Collection 2

Briefly mention the upcoming Landsat Next mission and the planned Collection 3, expected in the early 2030s.

Discuss how the shift from "static" emissivity values in Collection 1 to the more dynamic models in Collection 2 improves surface temperature estimates. 5. Research Tools and Applications

Brief history of the Landsat mission , which now spans over 50 years of Earth observation.
