In this stepbystep tutorial, learn how to download Landsat 8 satellite imagery from USGS EarthExplorer by selecting your area of interest using polygons, points/circles, or by uploading KML and shapefiles.
We demonstrate how to prepare and upload shapefiles to Google Earth, export them to KML in QGIS, and upload the KML files to USGS EarthExplorer to define your area of interest (AOI).
This guide is perfect for anyone looking to access satellite imagery for environmental studies, land use analysis, or GIS projects.
