[GIS] What are people using LANDSAT data for

landsatremote sensing

Obviously it's potentially a very powerful tool, but I'm curious as to what practical applications people are using it for?

Admittedly, this is a very broad question… The reason I ask is because while I personally am aware of a number of applications, I'm sure that others out there have thought of many other novel uses that might be interesting to share, and think about.

In addition, if you are using LANDSAT data yourself, what sort of workflow are you going through to get what you need from the data?
