Is it just me or does “data store” (two words) sound like somewhere you have to pay for data?

Similar issue with USGS EarthExplorer, which uses language like “order” and “shopping cart”, despite being entirely free. (I was confused by this for quite a while).

I was really honored to give a talk (remotely) at NASA Goddard today! Thanks for the invitation, and I hope we'll stay in touch!

GDAL resample 30m file to 90m
I have an SRTM file in DTED format obtained from EarthExplorer spanning 1 degree latitude by 1 degree longitude and containing 3601x3601 pixels at 30m spacing. The pixel size resolution is 0.000277777777778. This file is too large for my purposes, so I want to scale it down, but I have to keep the DTED format. I tried setting the resolution to 3 x 0.000277777777778 = 0.00083333333: gdalwarp -tr 0.00083333333 0.00083333333 input_file.dt2 downsampled.dt2 But this results in a 1200x1200 file, which is not a valid DTED size (I need 1201x1201), so I get this error: Creating output file that is 1200P x 1200L. Using internal nodata values (e.g. -32767) for image input_file.dt2. Copying nodata values from source input_file.dt2 to destination . Warning 1: The source does not appear to be a properly formatted cell. Warning 1: The corner coordinates of the source are not properly aligned on plain latitude/longitude boundaries. ERROR 5: Access window out of range in RasterIO(). Requested (0,0) of size 1201x1 on raster of 1200x1200. What do I need to change to get a valid output file? EDIT: after @user30184 's answer, I tried both of the following: gdal_translate -outsize 1201 1201 input_file.dt2 downsampled.dt2 gdalwarp -ts 1201 1201 input_file.dt2 downsampled.dt2 However, I still got the warning: The corner coordinates of the source are not properly aligned on plain latitude/longitude boundaries. The original file (3601x3601) covers latitude [29.9998611, 31.0001389] and has a pixel size of 0.00027777778. The downsampled file (1201x1201) covers latitude [29.9995833, 31.0004167] and has a pixel size of 3 x 0.00027777778 = 0.000833333333333. After further discussion with @user30184 , this is a valid result, as DTED files are supposed to expand outward from the boundaries by 1/2 a pixel size. Thus, both of the methods proposed in the answer are valid, and I can safely ignore the last warning.

Has anyone recently tried (successfully) to download historic aerial photos from the USGS earthexplorer site? Over the past few months it's turned to total shit for me: login failures, inability to download images, unprompted search resets, etc.

My latest fixation in my Quixotic quest to measure ubanicity has been with the US Geologic Society's National Land Cover Database.

This dataset classifies each 30m square patch of earth into a range of different categories some of which touch on human development.

On this wonderful #HillfortsWednesday we look back at issue 68 of AARGnews where our Editor's Picture focussed on Uffington Castle - an Iron Age univallate hillfort. Environment Agency LiDAR shows incredible detail, including medieval ridge and furrow within the hillfort itself!

For the full-size versions of these images, you'll have to go to the USGS's EarthExplorer platform. Take that map over to the St. Helens area and search their Aerial Photo Single Frames data set.

Prepare to experience volcanic photographic magic.
