Research and Development

The LCMAP research and development team works to develop new methods for investigating the Earth system and improve current methods for monitoring land cover and change. Specific LCMAP capabilities under development include change detection between annual update cycles and incorporation of data from other satellites (in particular, the European Space Agency's Sentinel-2). Future research will focus on utilization of the new capabilities for investigating large amounts of Landsat data through time.
