Thomas Loveland was a member of the first career-long generation of explorers studying the condition and changes of Earth from the vantage of space. Joining a new field called geographic remote sensing, he spent over 40 years piecing together the contemporary land history of the planet while contributing ideas and leadership to expand global Earth-observation capabilities.
Tom devoted his career to advancing remote sensing and served as an SDSU adjunct professor, teaching numerous remote sensing and geography courses for over 35 years.
His most visible service, arguably with the most lasting impact, was his leadership in advancing the science and applications of the Landsat program.
