Welcome to the LSU Earth Scan Lab.
The ESL is a satellite data receiving station and image processing facility for environmental data from six
unique earth observing sensor systems. We specialize in real-time
access to satellite imagery and measurements of the atmosphere,
oceans and coastal areas within the Gulf of Mexico / Caribbean
Sea region, data which we obtain directly from satellite transmissions to three antennas on LSU rooftops.
These data have many applications for research, education, and state emergency response.
