1972-76 Landsat MSS Image Mosaic of Cambodia The "1975 Cambodia
Mosaic" and related image products on the Genocide Studies
Program website were created from 17 Landsat Multi-Spectral
Scanner (MSS) scenes collected between December 1972 and January
1976. Scenes for this mosaic were selected based on their
availability, date collected (pre-genocide), and image quality
(cloud-free and minimal image artifacts). Images were
georeferenced to the 1990 era Landsat TM composite created by
EarthSat Corporation for NASA (see website referenced below for
more information). The horizontal positional accuracy is less
than 50 m for the 1990 image mosaic, making it ideal for
georeferencing the MSS scenes. Images were mosaicked and color-
balanced using ER Mapper software at Yale's Center for Earth
Observation (CEO) by Douglas Morton in July 2002. The final
image mosaic is a false-color composite using MSS bands 4, 2, 1
for red, green, and blue, respectively. The original MSS scenes
and the full-resolution image mosaic are arc
