  • overview

    The project aims to extend the CAP LTER long-term, land-use/land-cover (LULC) datasets to facilitate environmental change monitoring and social-ecological studies regarding urban sprawl and dynamics, urban heat islands, and outdoor water consumption, among others. Six LULC maps at 30 m resolution were previously created from 1985 to 2010 at five year intervals (Zhang and Li, 2017). This project updates that suite with a seventh map for 2015. As with the prior set, systematic object-based classification was utilized to ensure map consistency and direct comparison capability over time. The map comprises 11 land-use/land-cover classes with an overall accuracy of 89.1%.
