Integrated Land Change Monitoring

Satellite images that have been continuously acquired for many decades represent a unique record of our planet’s surface. At EROS, we analyze satellite and other data to determine not only how the Earth’s land cover has changed over time, but also the driving forces behind the changes. Understanding the how and why of past land cover and land use change makes it possible to more accura

Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection

LCMAP Science Product Displayed across CONUS

Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) represents a new generation of land cover mapping and change monitoring from the U.S. Geological Survey’s EROS Center.

LCMAP

National Land Cover Database

NCLD 2016 Land Cover for Kenai Peninsula

NLCD is generated in cooperation with the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium (MRLC) a partnership of Federal agencies working together to produce current, nationally consistent, land cover products for all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

Global Land 1-KM AVHRR Project

USGS EROS Archive - Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) - Sensor Characteristics

Background The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is a broad-band, four or five channel (depending on the model) scanner, sensing in the visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This sensor is carried on NOAA's Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES), beginning with TIROS-N in 1978.

Landscapes of West Africa: A Window on a Changing World

Landscapes of West Africa: A Window on a Changing World is an atlas and unique dataset that uses time-series satellite image data and field-based photography to tell the story of wide-ranging land change across 17 countries. EROS scientists selected the years 1975, 2000 and 2013 to characterize the landscapes and create the product, which represents the broadest effort to map the region in history...

Land Cover Projections

Scientists at EROS look at local and global drivers of land-use change to project how different scenarios will impact and change landscapes. Using the FOREcasting SCEnarios of Land-use Change (FORE-SCE) modeling framework provides spatially explicit projections of future land-use and land-cover change.
