    Abstract

    This report concludes a project aimed at the establishment of a database of selected Landsat images suitable mainly for geological work. The resultant new Landsat Image Database for Greenland now contains the digital data from 47 Landsat TM covering most of the ice-free area of Greenland and 35 Landsat MSS images covering selected parts of Greenland. The purpose of the new database is to ease the use of remote sensing techniques in geoscientific and environmental research in Greenland by providing easy access to Landsat data of optimal quality. The database also contains digital image previews of the selected scenes in a standard format suited for use by standard software tools in the PCAVindows environment. Several CD- -ROM products with previews and original data in digital form have been produced and can be obtained from GGU and Satellitbild AB. The database also contains information on 866 other scenes visually inspected on black and white photographic previews, but not further utilized in this project.
