Congratulations to the ROSES-2011 Land-Cover/Land-Use Change for Early Career Scientists Awardees
Congratulations to the ROSES-2011 Land-Cover/Land-Use Change for Early Career Scientists Awardees
This synopsis is for the Land-Cover and Land-Use Change (LCLUC) part of the NASA Research Announcement (NRA) ROSES-2011 NNH11ZDA001N-LCLUC. This NRA offered opportunities for research to develop and use NASA remote sensing technologies to improve understanding of human interaction with the environment, and thus provide a scientific foundation for understanding the sustainability, vulnerability and resilience of landcover and land-use systems. NASA LCLUC research contributes toward the goals of the U.S.

The historical land cover maps for about 200 years describe annual historical changes in land cover and underlying land-use conversions at 0.5 °x0.5 ° resolution. Three distinct estimates of land-cover change and land-use conversions were reconstructed using three different datasets on cropland and pastureland. The method of reconstruction utilized multiple years of MODIS land cover data (Friedl et al. 2010) as boundary conditions to implicitly account for unaccounted land-cover change. The land-cover maps produced for recent years are consistent with MODIS satellite estimates.
