Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global land cover data, such as the recent 30-meter resolution global land cover datasets (GlobeLand30), provide rich information that is fundamental to environmental change studies, land resource management, sustainable development, and have many other societal benefits. Analysis of these datasets, especially quantitative analysis, enables us to extract important knowledge about the current state and distribution of global land cover, the rate and distribution of land cover change, and the human driving forces that cause and determine the land cover change, as well as indicators to support various applications. Studies have been carried over in developing new methods and techniques or applying existing ones to global land cover data analysis. This Special Issue is dedicated to current technological, methodological, conceptual and application developments of global land cover data analysis. The development of online tools and services that support global land cover data analysis and applications are especially welcome.
