[GRASS-user] access to multispectral landsat data for the UK

[Dr Colin Hindmarch]

Hi,

I have have no institutional or academic affiliations and it seems that this limits my access (free of cost) to Landsat data for the UK. This wasn’t always the case, I am sure, but I gather everything these days is highly commercialised and tightly controlled, with little prospect of an unsupported loaner getting access to basic data (except for Google earth PNG ‘snips’ and some very useful global DEM Explorer data). 

Has anyone any ideas about open source multispectral UK data?

I should explain that I am an ecologist on a limited budget who is updating using open source data and freeware programmes like GRASS, and who is very keen to apply these to large-scale landscapes in support of personal and professional development. I don’t have a research proposal in mind, but I am scoping opportunities as I get to grips with the software and the associated analytical techniques, and may at some point work up a few ideas.

Colin.
