U.S. satellite commercial imagery (CI) with resolution less than 1 meter is a common geospatial reference used by the public through Web applications, mobile devices, and the news media. However, CI use in the scientific community has not kept pace, even though those who are performing U.S. government research have access to these data at no cost. Previously, studies using multiple CI acquisitions from IKONOS‐2, Quickbird‐2, GeoEye‐1, WorldView‐1, and WorldView‐2 would have been cost prohibitive. Now, with near‐global submeter coverage and online distribution, opportunities abound for future scientific studies. This archive is already quite extensive (examples are shown in Figure 1) and is being used in many novel applications.
