Vermont Historical Landscape Change
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The landscape Change Program is an archive of paired historic and recent photos of Vermont landscapes.
Description
The program is funded by the National Science Foundation to digitally document how the Vermont landscape has changed over time. The landscape of Vermont has changed considerably since it first emerged from the ocean during the collision of huge tectonic plates.
For a time, geologically speaking, sediments that became Vermont had been in a warm tropical sea at the equator. Slowly they had moved north. Mountains were born and began to erode.

Massive glaciers more than a kilometer thick blanketed Vermont. Soon after the glaciers left, Native Americans inhabited the area. Colonial settlers moved in, clearing the land and leaving just a quarter of the total area forested, making way for agriculture, then sheep, then dairy.
Hundreds of hill farms sprang up and many were later abandoned as western soils called. Now the Vermont landscape is mostly forested and yet increasingly developed. The face of Vermont has changed dramatically over time.
The shared appreciation and acknowledgement of this rich landscape history is the goal of this project. [Summary provided by the University of Vermont.]
