This map shows 2024 shrub cover from the Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection (RCMAP) project across the McDermitt Caldera, outlined in gray, along the Nevada–Oregon border. Dark green areas indicate high shrub cover, typically found in riparian zones and at higher elevations.

About 15 million people rely on the Delaware River Basin for drinking water, including residents of Philadelphia, PA, Camden, NJ, and Wilmington, DE. What might happen to the water supply if climate change and population growth continue unabated? How might that impact land cover and land use patterns?

Land cover and land use across the United States are the culmination of a complex web of interwoven factors: Climate, landscape types, and economic factors among them. Remotely-sensed data from satellites like Landsat and a variety of other sources are useful for documenting and monitoring land cover and land use.
