Cover and Land Cover Dynamics
We are engaged in a number of land cover and land cover dynamics research activities. The principal activities are developing Land Cover and Land Cover Dynamics products for NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land science team. We also maintain the Confidence Site database for global land cover mapping validation, part of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP).
