I have been trying to download the bands 10 and 11 of LANDSAT 8 for a GIS analysis however the images downloaded from both Glovis and Earthexplorer have been resampled to a 30meters spatial resolution. Please who knows how I can get the 100m spatial resolution TIR band for my analysis
Hi Ibrahim Adeniran
As far as I know, L8 TIRS Band 10 and 11 are originally retrieved at 100 m sensor resolution but resampled to a 30 m for alignment to the OLI data in the final products. If I were you, I would inquire with USGS https://landsat.usgs.gov/contact
You can find the answer in the following thread. https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can-anyone-help-with-TIRS-Landsat-8-over-sampling
Hi Ibrahim,
to get Landsat 8 TIRS band 10 and 11 you can follow the steps below:
1- to go https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/
2- create your account
3- Enter your search criteria (place and date range)
4- Click on the Datasets tab and expend Landsat
5- Once you expend Landsat, click on the + sign to choose Landsat Collection 1
6- Expend Landsat Collection 1 and click on Landsat Collection 1-Level-1
7- Once Landsat Collection 1 Level-1 is expended, check the box of Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS C1Level-1
8-Optionally, you can click on the Additional Criteria to narrow down your search (cloud coverage percentage)
9- Click on the Results tab to see your search results
10- Download the data to your working folder and unzip it to extract band 10 and 11.
I hope that could help. Best of luck with your research.

you can also consider resampling yourself with a GIS software eg QGIS using the warp (reproject) command and set output resolution to 100 m (check that you have processed your projection in a local grid with m and not in degree)
