I have have no institutional or academic affiliations and it seems that this limits my access (free of cost) to Landsat data for the UK. This wasn’t always the case, I am sure, but I gather everything these days is highly commercialised and tightly controlled, with little prospect of an unsupported loaner getting access to basic data (except for Google earth PNG ‘snips’ and some very useful global DEM Explorer data).
Has anyone any ideas about open source multispectral UK data?
I should explain that I am an ecologist on a limited budget who is updating using open source data and freeware programmes like GRASS, and who is very keen to apply these to large-scale landscapes in support of personal and professional development. I don’t have a research proposal in mind, but I am scoping opportunities as I get to grips with the software and the associated analytical techniques, and may at some point work up a few ideas.
I don’t know where you are looking for these landsat images but they are free of cost for everyone. Take a look at the Earth Explorer[1] site from USGS. Even Landsat 8 data is available. I just cheched and found about 60 Landsat8 images over UK and Ireland with less then 30% cloud cover.

I was not aware of EOLi (and eolisa). Just installed and it looks lika a nice app. But I could not figure out if there were any free satellite images besides landsat. Do you know what images can we obtain for free, through eolisa?
