The vertical land change activity focuses on the detection, analysis, and explanation of topographic change. These detection techniques include both quantitative methods, for example, using difference metrics derived from multi-temporal topographic digital elevation models (DEMs), such as, light detection and ranging (lidar), National Elevation Dataset (NED), Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR), and qualitative methods, for example, using multi-temporal aerial photography to visualize topographic change. The geographic study area of this activity is Perry County, Kentucky. Available multi-temporal lidar, NED, SRTM, IFSAR, and other topographic elevation datasets, as well as aerial photography and multi-spectral image data were identified and downloaded for this study area county. Available mine maps and mine portal locations were obtained from the Kentucky Mine Mapping Information System, Division of Mine Safety, 300 Sower Boulevard, Frankfort, KY 40601 at http://minemaps.ky.gov/Default.aspx?Src=Downloads. These features were used to spatially locate the study areas within Perry County. Previously developed differencing methods (Gesch, 2006) were used to develop difference raster datasets of NED/SRTM (1950-2000 date range) and SRTM/IFSAR (2000-2008 date range). The difference rasters were evaluated to exclude difference values that were below a specified vertical change threshold, which was applied spatially by National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) 1992 and 2006 land cover type, respectively. This spatial application of the vertical change threshold values improved the overall ability to detect vertical change because threshold values in bare earth areas were distinguished from threshold values in heavily vegetated areas. Lidar high-resolution (1.5 m) DEMs were acquired for Perry County, Kentucky from U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service Geospatial Data Gateway at https://gdg.sc.egov.usda.gov/GDGOrder.aspx#. ESRI Mosaic Datasets were generated from lidar point-cloud data and available topographic DEMs for the specified study area. These data were analyzed to estimate volumetric changes on the land surface at three different periods with lidar acquisitions collected for Perry County, KY on 3/29/12 to 4/6/12. A recent difference raster dataset time span (2008-2012 date range) was analyzed by differencing the Perry County lidar-derived DEM and an IFSAR-derived dataset. The IFSAR-derived data were resampled to the resolution of the lidar DEM (approximately 1-m resolution) and compared with the lidar-derived DEM. Land cover based threshold values were applied spatially to detect vertical change using the lidar/IFSAR difference dataset. Perry County lidar metadata reported that the acquisition required lidar to be collected with an average of 0.68 m point spacing or better and vertical accuracy of 15 cm root mean square error (RMSE) or better.

Interagency Wildland Fire Perimeter History (IFPH) Overview This national fire history perimeter data layer of conglomerated agency perimeters was developed in support of the WFDSS application and wildfire decision support. The layer encompasses the fire perimeter datasets of the USDA Forest Service, US Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service, the Alaska Interagency Fire Center, CalFire, and WFIGS History. Perimeters are included thru the 2024 fire season. Requirements for fire perimeter inclusion, such as minimum acreage requirements, are set by the contributing agencies. WFIGS, NPS and CALFIRE data now include Prescribed Burns. Data InputSeveral data sources were used in the development of this layer, links are provided where possible below. In addition, many agencies are now using WFIGS as their authoritative source, beginning in mid-2020.Alaska fire history (WFIGS pull for updates began 2022)USDA FS Regional Fire History Data (WFIGS pull for updates began 2024)BLM Fire Planning and Fuels (WFIGS pull for updates began 2020)National Park Service - Includes Prescribed Burns (WFIGS pull for updates began 2020)Fish and Wildlife Service (WFIGS pull for updates began 2024)Bureau of Indian Affairs (Incomplete, 2017-2018 from BIA, WFIGS pull for updates began 2020)CalFire FRAS - Includes Prescribed Burns (CALFIRE only source, non-fed fires)WFIGS - updates included since mid-2020, unless otherwise noted Data LimitationsFire perimeter data are often collected at the local level, and fire management agencies have differing guidelines for submitting fire perimeter data. Often data are collected by agencies only once annually. If you do not see your fire perimeters in this layer, they were not present in the sources used to create the layer at the time the data were submitted. A companion service for perimeters entered into the WFDSS application is also available, if a perimeter is found in the WFDSS service that is missing in this Agency Authoritative service or a perimeter is missing in both services, please contact the appropriate agency Fire GIS Contact listed in the table below.Attributes This dataset implements the NWCG Wildland Fire Perimeters (polygon) data standard.https://www.nwcg.gov/sites/default/files/stds/WildlandFirePerimeters_definition.pdfIRWINID - Primary key for linking to the IRWIN Incident dataset.

"Mapping forests with different levels of naturalness using machine learning and landscape data mining" (under review)
Abstract:
To conserve biodiversity, it is imperative to maintain and restore sufficient amounts of functional habitat networks. Hence, locating remaining forests with natural structures and processes over landscapes and large regions is a key task. We integrated machine learning (Random Forest) and wall-to-wall open landscape data to scan all forest landscapes in Sweden with a 1 ha spatial resolution with respect to the relative likelihood of hosting High Conservation Value Forests (HCVF). Using independent spatial stand- and plot-level validation data we confirmed that our predictions (ROC AUC in the range of 0.89 - 0.90) correctly represent forests with different levels of naturalness, from deteriorated to those with high and associated biodiversity conservation values. Given ambitious national and international conservation objectives, and increasingly intensive forestry, our model and the resulting wall-to-wall mapping fills an urgent gap for assessing fulfilment of evidence-based conservation targets, spatial planning, and designing forest landscape restoration.

The datasets were produced during the doctoral research titled "A modelling framework to estimate the effects of future transport interventions on land values". Specifically, the datasets were produced and prepared with the purpose of training a geostatistical model and construct a residential land value map for Guatemala City using a predictive approach. The file "gc_log" contains a set of spatial points representing parcel centroids of the observations that were used to train a regression-kriging model. A spatialized variable selection was implemented in order to retain only important variables. The "grid_prediction.csv" contains a set of spatial points representing the centroids of an hexagonal tessellation containing values for all the required predictors of land value. The "research_code.R" file contains the scripts developed to implement the spatial variable selection, train the regression-kriging model and construct the land value map.
Descriptions Excel Application Tool for Statewide Agricultural Water Use Data 2016 - 2020 Department of water resources, Water Use Efficiency Branch, Water Use Unit program, has developed an Excel application tool, which calculates annual estimates of irrigated crop area (ICA), crop evapotranspiration (ETc), effective precipitation (Ep), evapotranspiration of applied water (ETaw), consumed fraction (CF), and applied water (AW) for 20 crop categories by combinations of detailed analysis unit and county (DAUCo) over California. The 2016 – 2020 statewide agricultural water use data were developed by all 4 DWR’s Regional Offices (Northern Region Office, North Central Region Office, South Central Region Office, and Southern Region Office) using Cal_simetaw model for updating the information in the California Water Plan Updates-2023. Therefore, this current Excel application tool just covers agricultural water use data from the period of 2016 - 2020 water years. It should also be mentioned that there are 3 other similar Excel applications that cover 1998 - 2005 and 2006 – 2010, & 2011 - 2015 agricultural water use data for the California Water plan Updates 2005/2009, 2013, and 2018 respectively. Outputs data provided from this Excel application include ICA in acres, EP, both in unit values (Acre feet per acre) & volume (acre feet), ETc both in unit values (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet), ETaw, both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet), AW, both in unit value (acre feet per acre) & volume (acre feet), CF (in percentage %) for WYs 2016 – 2020 at Detailed Analysis Unit by County (DAUCO), Detailed Analysis Unit (DAU), County, Planning Area (PA), Hydrological Region (HR), and Statewide spatial scales using the dropdown menu. Furthermore, throughout the whole process numerous computations and aggregation equations in various worksheets are included in this Excel application. And for obvious reasons all worksheets in this Excel application are hidden and password protected. So, accidentally they won’t be tampered with or changed/revised.
Following are definitions of terminology and listing of 20 crop categories used in this Excel application.
Study Area Maps
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) subdivided California into study areas for planning purposes. The largest study areas are the ten hydrologic regions (HR),
The next level of delineation is the planning area (PAS), which are composed of multiple detailed analysis units (DAU). The DAUs are often split by county boundaries, so the
smallest study areas used by DWR is DAU/County. Many planning studies begin at the Dau or PA level, and the results are aggregated into hydrologic regions for presentation.
Irrigated Crop Area (ICA) in acres
The total amount of land irrigated for the purpose of growing a crop (includes multi-cropping acres)
3- Multi-cropping (MC) in acres
A section of land that has more than one crop grown on it in a year, this included one crop being planted more than once in a season in the same field.
Please note that there are no double cropping acreages for 2017. Because on a normal year when Regional Offices (RO) receive data from Land IQ, they were able to provide double cropping acreages. Since the 2017 land use data was derived from average crop acres between water years 2016 and 2018,2019, & 2020, they lost spatial and temporal data necessary to calculate double cropping.
Evapotranspiration (ET)
Combination of soil evaporation and transpiration is referred to as evapotranspiration or ET. The rate of evapotranspiration from the plant-soil environment is primarily dependent on the energy available from solar radiation but is also dependent on relative humidity, temperature, cloud cover, and wind speed. It is an indication for how much your crops, lawn, garden, and trees need for healthy growth and productivity.
Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo)
Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is an estimate of the evapotranspiration of a 10-15 cm tall cool season grass and not lacking for water. The daily Standardized Reference Evapotranspiration for short canopies is calculated using the Penman-Monteith (PM) equation (Monteith, 1965) as presented in the United Nations FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper (FAO 56) by Allen et al. (1988).
Penman-Monteith Equation (PM)
Equation is used to estimate ETo when daily solar radiation, maximum and minimum air temperature, dew point temperature, and wind speed data are available. It is recommended by both the America Society of Civil Engineers and United Nations FAO for estimating ETo.
Crop Evapotranspiration (ETc), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Commonly known as potential evapotranspiration, which is the amount of water used by plants in transpiration and evaporation of water from adjacent plants and soil surfaces during a specific time period. ETc is computed
as the product of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and a crop coefficient (Kc) value, i.e., ETc = ETo x Kc.
One Acre foot equals about 325851 gallons, or enough water to cover an acre of land about the size of a football field, one foot deep.
Crop Coefficient (Kc)
Relates ET of a given crop at a specific time in its growth stage to a reference ET. Incorporates effects of crop growth state, crop density, and other cultural factors affecting ET. The reference condition has been termed "potential" and relates to grass. The main sources of Kc information are the FAO 24 (Doorenbos and Pruitt 1977) and FAO 56 (Allen et al. 1988) papers on evapotranspiration.
Effective Precipitation (Ep), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Fraction of rainfall effectively used by a crop, rather than mobilized as runoff or deep percolation
Evapotranspiration of Applied Water (ETaw), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Net amount of irrigation water needed to produce a crop (not including irrigation application efficiency). Soil characteristic data and crop information with precipitation and ETc data are used to generate hypothetical water balance irrigation schedules to determine ETaw.
Applied Water (AW), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Estimated as the ETaw divided by the mean seasonal irrigation system application efficiency.
Consumed Fraction (CF) in percentage (%)
An estimate of how irrigation water is efficiently applied on fields to meet crop water, frost protection, and leaching requirements for a whole season or full year.

The USDA Forest Service (USFS) builds two versions of percent tree canopy cover (TCC) data to serve needs of multiple user communities. These datasets encompass the conterminous United States (CONUS), Coastal Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands (PRUSVI). The two versions of data within the v2021-4 TCC product suite include: - The raw model outputs referred to as the annual Science data; and - A modified version built for the National Land Cover Database referred to as NLCD data. They are available at the following locations: Science: https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/rastergateway/treecanopycover/ https://apps.fs.usda.gov/fsgisx01/rest/services/RDW_LandscapeAndWildlife NLCD: https://www.mrlc.gov/data https://apps.fs.usda.gov/fsgisx01/rest/services/RDW_LandscapeAndWildlife The NLCD product suite includes data for years 2011, 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2021. The NCLD data are processed to remove small interannual changes from the annual TCC timeseries, and to mask TCC pixels that are known to be 0 percent TCC, non-tree agriculture, and water. A small interannual change is defined as a TCC change less than an increase or decrease of 10 percent compared to a TCC baseline value established in a prior year. The initial TCC baseline value is the mean of 2008-2010 TCC data. For each year following 2011, on a pixel-wise basis TCC values are updated to a new baseline value if an increase or decrease of 10 percent TCC occurs relative to the 2008-2010 TCC baseline value. If no increase or decrease greater than 10 percent TCC occurs relative to the 2008-2010 baseline, then the 2008-2010 TCC baseline value is caried through to the next year in the timeseries. Pixel values range from 0 to 100 percent. The non-processing area is represented by value 254, and the background is represented by the value 255. The Science and NLCD tree canopy cover data are accessible for multiple user communities, through multiple channels and platforms. For information on the Science data and processing steps see the Science metadata.
Land consolidation has been used to reduce the effects of land fragmentation in many parts of the world in order to increase food productivity and food security, amongst other benefits. However, its use on customary lands has been limited. Land fragmentation on customary lands has two main causes ? the nature of the customary land tenure system, and the somewhat linked agricultural system. The attempts to increase food productivity on customary lands have mostly involved fertilisation, and mechanisation. But with the small and scattered farmlands, these approaches fall short of increasing food productivity. Previous attempts at land consolidation have involved directly transferring land consolidation approaches from other regions of the world. These have failed as little consideration were given to the local conditions of customary lands. This thesis suggests the use of responsible approaches; ones that continuously consider and align technical and administrative conditions, and internal processes inherent to land consolidation, to the dynamic local societal demands, economic conditions, and cultural and legal requirements. To this end, this thesis aimed to develop a responsible land consolidation approach for customary lands. For this purpose, using Ghana as a case, four specific objectives are addressed. First, to explore how the factors need to be addressed to develop a responsible land consolidation approach for customary lands, a comparative study was conducted between Ghana and three other countries. The factors when selecting a land consolidation strategy were identified for three countries with existing land consolidation strategies: The Netherlands, Lithuania, and Rwanda. These were set against Ghana, which has no land consolidation strategy, but has customary lands. The comparison found that certain factors in the countries with land consolidation - the government support; the prior existence of conventional land markets; an individual land tenure system; and the coverage of a functioning land information system ? were all absent in Ghana. The comparison concluded that these factors that differ require ways to be addressed and adapted in order to develop a responsible land consolidation strategy for Ghana?s customary areas. Second, in order get a land information to support responsible land consolidation on customary lands, the next chapter develops and assesses an approach for collecting land information to support responsible land consolidation on customary lands. The concept of Participatory Land Administration (PLA) is then developed in the context of crowdsourced, voluntary, and participatory approaches alongside newly related insights into neogeography and neo-cadastre, and fit-for-purpose and pro-poor land administration. The PLA concept is experimented in Northern Ghana, where the process was developed together with the local farming community. The experiment involved collecting land information relating to farms over a two- week period, using a mobile app and a satellite image, based on PLA. The results show that PLA can potentially support land consolidation as the land information collected supports land consolidation, and the local people?s involvement gave them a sense of ownership of the results. Third, as there is no land market to provide support to land consolidation as a basis for comparison of farmland parcels, a land valuation approach to support responsible land consolidation on customary lands is developed and assessed. Using a Multiple Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) approach, the Land Value Indices is developed to assign quid pro quo land values to customary farmland parcels, based on the local people?s view of land value. In a case study of Nanton, Ghana, key land value factors were identified and weighted by the local community. The weights were integrated into the framework that produced a Land Value Index for each farmland parcel. The strength of the approach is found in scenario and sensitivity analyses. However, the prime weakness of this approach is that it is more expensive to use than automatic valuation models. The presence of the customary land tenure system limits the use of conventional land reallocation techniques available. Hence the framework of a process model for a reallocation approach to support responsible land consolidation on customary lands is developed and assessed. Using the process model approach, the key characteristics of customary land tenure and the general requirements for land re-allocation of these lands were identified; from which a land re-allocation approach is developed. This is subsequently applied to a case study in Northern Ghana. The results show that even though the approach is successful to the extent that land fragmentation (physical and legal) is significantly reduced in the study area within family lands; social land mobility, land tenure and cultural practices hinder the application of the land re-allocation between families, as this would either increase legal or physical land fragmentation. In conclusion, land consolidation can be used to reduce land fragmentation and increase food productivity on customary lands. However, this is limited by the balance between reducing physical or land tenure fragmentation, as the reduction of the former leads to an increase in the later and vice versa. Further studies have to be conducted to overcome the balance between reducing physical land fragmentation on one hand and land tenure fragmentation on the other hand. The results of this thesis contribute to knowledge and literature, by broadening the knowledge on the transfer of land management activities to customary lands. To policy formulation and implementation, the results show that the need for land policies to consider the gap between land information collection or the building of a cadastre on the one hand and sustainable development on the other. In terms of food policy, the results enrich the need for a stronger link between food policy and land policy, especially in terms of food productivity. In terms of meeting societal challenges and needs, though the focus of this work is on food security, the developed land administration processes provide support for other societal needs and goals such as economic and infrastructural development, disaster risk management, climate change adaptation, and large-scale land acquisitions.

Excel Application Tool for Agricultural Water Use Data 2006 - 2010
Department of water resources, Water Use Efficiency Branch, Water Use Unit program, has developed an Excel application tool, which calculates annual estimates of irrigated crop area (ICA), crop evapotranspiration (ETc), effective precipitation (Ep), evapotranspiration of applied water (ETaw), consumed fraction (CF), and applied water (AW) for 20 crop categories by combinations of detailed analysis unit and county (DAUCo) over California. The 2006 – 2010 agricultural water use data were developed by all 4 DWR’s Regional Offices (Northern Region Office, North Central Region Office, South Central Region Office, and Southern Region Office) using California Ag Water Use model for updating the information in the California Water Plan Updates-2013. Therefore, this current Excel application just covers agricultural water use data from the period of 2006 -2010 water years. It should also be mentioned that there are 2 other similar Excel application tools that cover 1998 - 2005 and 2011 - 2015 agricultural water use data for the California Water plan Updates - 2003/2009 and 2018, respectively. Outputs data provided from this Excel application include ICA in acres, EP, both in unit values (Acre feet per acre) & volume (acre feet), ETc both in unit values (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet), ETaw, both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet), AW, both in unit value (acre feet per acre) & volume (acre feet), CF (in percentage %) for WYs 2006 – 2010 at Detailed Analysis Unit by County (DAUCO), Detailed Analysis Unit (DAU), County, Planning Area (PA), Hydrological Region (HR), and Statewide spatial scales using the dropdown menu.
Furthermore, throughout the whole process numerous computations and aggregation equations in various worksheets are included in this Excel application. And for obvious reasons all worksheets in this Excel application are hidden and password protected. So, accidentally they won’t be tampered with or changed/revised.
Following are definitions of terminology and listing of 20 crop categories used in this Excel application.
Study Area Maps
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) subdivided California into study areas for planning purposes. The largest study areas are the ten hydrologic regions (HR),
The next level of delineation is the planning area (PAS), which are composed of multiple detailed analysis units (DAU). The DAUs are often split by county boundaries, so the
smallest study areas used by DWR is DAU/County. Many planning studies begin at the Dau or PA level, and the results are aggregated into hydrologic regions for presentation.
Irrigated Crop Area (ICA) in acres
The total amount of land irrigated for the purpose of growing a crop (includes multi-cropping acres)
Multi-cropping (MC) in acres
A section of land that has more than one crop grown on it in a year, this included one crop being planted more than once in a season in the same field.
Evapotranspiration (ET)
Combination of soil evaporation and transpiration is referred to as evapotranspiration or ET. The rate of evapotranspiration from the plant-soil environment is primarily dependent on the energy available from solar radiation but is also dependent on relative humidity, temperature, cloud cover, and wind speed. It is an indication for how much your crops, lawn, garden, and trees need for healthy growth and productivity.
Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo)
Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is an estimate of the evapotranspiration of a 10-15 cm tall cool season grass and not lacking for water. The daily Standardized Reference Evapotranspiration for short canopies is calculated using the Penman-Monteith (PM) equation (Monteith, 1965) as presented in the United Nations FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper (FAO 56) by Allen et al. (1988).
Penman-Monteith Equation (PM)
Equation is used to estimate ETo when daily solar radiation, maximum and minimum air temperature, dew point temperature, and wind speed data are available. It is recommended by both the America Society of Civil Engineers and United Nations FAO for estimating ETo.
Crop Evapotranspiration (ETc), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Commonly known as potential evapotranspiration, which is the amount of water used by plants in transpiration and evaporation of water from adjacent plants and soil surfaces during a specific time period. ETc is computed as the product of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and a crop coefficient (Kc) value, i.e., ETc = ETo x Kc. One Acre foot equals about 325851 gallons, or enough water to cover an acre of land about the size of a football field, one foot deep.
Crop Coefficient (Kc)
Relates ET of a given crop at a specific time in its growth stage to a reference ET. Incorporates effects of crop growth state, crop density, and other cultural factors affecting ET. The reference condition has been termed "potential" and relates to grass. The main sources of Kc information are the FAO 24 (Doorenbos and Pruitt 1977) and FAO 56 (Allen et al. 1988) papers on evapotranspiration.
Effective Precipitation (Ep), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Fraction of rainfall effectively used by a crop, rather than mobilized as runoff or deep percolation
Evapotranspiration of Applied Water (ETaw), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Net amount of irrigation water needed to produce a crop (not including irrigation application efficiency). Soil characteristic data and crop information with precipitation and ETc data are used to generate hypothetical water balance irrigation schedules to determine ETaw.
Applied Water (AW), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Estimated as the ETaw divided by the mean seasonal irrigation system application efficiency.
Consumed Fraction (CF) in percentage (%)
An estimate of how irrigation water is efficiently applied on fields to meet crop water, frost protection, and leaching requirements for a whole season or full year.

Important Note: This item is in mature support as of February 2023 and will be retired in December 2025. A new version of this item is available for your use. Esri recommends updating your maps and apps to use the new version. This layer displays change in pixels of the Sentinel-2 10m Land Use/Land Cover product developed by Esri, Impact Observatory, and Microsoft. Available years to compare with 2021 are 2018, 2019 and 2020. By default, the layer shows all comparisons together, in effect showing what changed 2018-2021. But the layer may be changed to show one of three specific pairs of years, 2018-2021, 2019-2021, or 2020-2021.Showing just one pair of years in ArcGIS Online Map ViewerTo show just one pair of years in ArcGIS Online Map viewer, create a filter. 1. Click the filter button. 2. Next, click add expression. 3. In the expression dialogue, specify a pair of years with the ProductName attribute. Use the following example in your expression dialogue to show only places that changed between 2020 and 2021:ProductNameis2020-2021By default, places that do not change appear as a
transparent symbol in ArcGIS Pro. But in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, a transparent
symbol may need to be set for these places after a filter is
chosen. To do this:4. Click the styles button. 5. Under unique values click style options. 6. Click the symbol next to No Change at the bottom of the legend. 7. Click the slider next to "enable fill" to turn the symbol off.Showing just one pair of years in ArcGIS ProTo show just one pair of years in ArcGIS Pro, choose one of the layer's processing templates to single out a particular pair of years. The processing template applies a definition query that works in ArcGIS Pro. 1. To choose a processing template, right click the layer in the table of contents for ArcGIS Pro and choose properties. 2. In the dialogue that comes up, choose the tab that says processing templates. 3. On the right where it says processing template, choose the pair of years you would like to display. The processing template will stay applied for any analysis you may want to perform as well.How the change layer was created, combining LULC classes from two yearsImpact Observatory, Esri, and Microsoft used artificial intelligence to classify the world in 10 Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) classes for the years 2017-2021. Mosaics serve the following sets of change rasters in a single global layer: Change between 2018 and 2021Change between 2019 and 2021Change between 2020 and 2021To make this change layer, Esri used an arithmetic operation
combining the cells from a source year and 2021 to make a change index
value. ((from year * 16) + to year) In the example of the change between 2020 and 2021, the from year (2020) was multiplied by 16, then added to the to year (2021). Then the combined number is served as an index in an 8 bit unsigned mosaic with an attribute table which describes what changed or did not change in that timeframe.

Land Cover processingThis map was produced by a deep learning model trained using over 5 billion hand-labeled Sentinel-2 pixels, sampled from over 20,000 sites distributed across all major biomes of the world. The underlying deep learning model uses 6 bands of Sentinel-2 surface reflectance data: visible blue, green, red, near infrared, and two shortwave infrared bands. To create the final map, the model is run on multiple dates of imagery throughout the year, and the outputs are composited into a final representative map. Processing platformSentinel-2 L2A/B data was accessed via Microsoft’s Planetary Computer and scaled using Microsoft Azure Batch.Class definitions1. WaterAreas

The vertical land change activity focuses on the detection, analysis, and explanation of topographic change. These detection techniques include both quantitative methods, for example, using difference metrics derived from multi-temporal topographic digital elevation models (DEMs), such as, light detection and ranging (lidar), National Elevation Dataset (NED), Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR), and qualitative methods, for example, using multi-temporal aerial photography to visualize topographic change. The geographic study area of this activity is Perry County, Kentucky. Available multi-temporal lidar, NED, SRTM, IFSAR, and other topographic elevation datasets, as well as aerial photography and multi-spectral image data were identified and downloaded for this study area county. Available mine maps and mine portal locations were obtained from the Kentucky Mine Mapping Information System, Division of Mine Safety, 300 Sower Boulevard, Frankfort, KY 40601 at http://minemaps.ky.gov/Default.aspx?Src=Downloads. These features were used to spatially locate the study areas within Perry County. Previously developed differencing methods (Gesch, 2006) were used to develop difference raster datasets of NED/SRTM (1950-2000 date range) and SRTM/IFSAR (2000-2008 date range). The difference rasters were evaluated to exclude difference values that were below a specified vertical change threshold, which was applied spatially by National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) 1992 and 2006 land cover type, respectively. This spatial application of the vertical change threshold values improved the overall ability to detect vertical change because threshold values in bare earth areas were distinguished from threshold values in heavily vegetated areas. Lidar high-resolution (1.5 m) DEMs were acquired for Perry County, Kentucky from U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service Geospatial Data Gateway at https://gdg.sc.egov.usda.gov/GDGOrder.aspx#. ESRI Mosaic Datasets were generated from lidar point-cloud data and available topographic DEMs for the specified study area. These data were analyzed to estimate volumetric changes on the land surface at three different periods with lidar acquisitions collected for Perry County, KY on 3/29/12 to 4/6/12. A recent difference raster dataset time span (2008-2012 date range) was analyzed by differencing the Perry County lidar-derived DEM and an IFSAR-derived dataset. The IFSAR-derived data were resampled to the resolution of the lidar DEM (approximately 1-m resolution) and compared with the lidar-derived DEM. Land cover based threshold values were applied spatially to detect vertical change using the lidar/IFSAR difference dataset. Perry County lidar metadata reported that the acquisition required lidar to be collected with an average of 0.68 m point spacing or better and vertical accuracy of 15 cm root mean square error (RMSE) or better.
