Mapping land cover change over continental Africa using Landsat and Google Earth Engine cloud computing
Quantifying and monitoring the spatial and temporal dynamics of the global land cover is critical for better understanding many of the Earth's land surface processes. However, the lack of regularly updated, continental-scale, and high spatial resolution (30 m) land cover data limit our ability to better understand the spatial extent and the temporal dynamics of land surface changes. Despite the...
متن کاملMultitemporal settlement and population mapping from Landsat using Google Earth Engine
As countries become increasingly urbanized, understanding how urban areas are changing within the landscape becomes increasingly important. Urbanized areas are often the strongest indicators of human interaction with the environment, and understanding how urban areas develop through remotely sensed data allows for more sustainable practices. The Google Earth Engine (GEE) leverages cloud computi...
متن کاملLand cover land use mapping and change detection analysis using geographic information system and remote sensing
Land cover/land use categories are relevant components in land management. Understanding how land cover/land use change over time is necessary to assess the consequences of humans and natural stressors on the earth’s environment and resources. The aim of the study was to map and monitor the spatial and temporal change in land cover/land use for the periods of 1977, 1991 and 2016 and to predict ...
متن کاملContinental Monitoring: 34 Years of Land Cover Change Using Landsat Imagery
In Australia, remotely sensed Landsat data is routinely used for mapping and monitoring the change in extent of woody perennial vegetation. Time-series remotely sensed satellite imagery and ground information is used to form multi-temporal classifications of presence/absence of woody cover, typically for state-based management and reporting of clearing. More recently, there has been increased i...
متن کاملMapping VHR Water Depth, Seabed and Land Cover Using Google Earth Data
Google Earth (GE) provides very high resolution (VHR) natural-colored (red-green-blue, RGB) images based on commercial spaceborne sensors over worldwide coastal areas. GE is rarely used as a direct data source to address coastal issues despite the tremendous potential of data transferability. This paper describes an inexpensive and easy-to-implement methodology to construct a GE natural-colored...
