Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 31688

Session Description:
In recent years improvements in earth observation data, storage and processing have advanced significantly. This has provided the capacity to produce land cover and land cover change information at higher spatial resolution, over large extents, and more accurately than previous. Land cover and land cover change are important inputs to mesoscale models related to meteorological, hydrological, biochemical, air quality, and species distribution as examples. It is considered an essential climate variable and required for many conservation applications. This session aims at presenting new land cover and land use methods, datasets, and applications over large extents and across varied ecosystems.
