Description
This raster GIS dataset contains 30 meter cells depicting wetlands in a hydrobasin.
This base dataset is a combination of three globally available datasets creating a new dataset is that is inclusive of both finer-resolution data while accounting for a wide range of wetland sizes.
The three source datasets are:
1) CW-WTD 500 m dataset resampled to 30 m. – Wetland dataset built from a composite wetland-water table depth (Tootchi 2019),
2) CCI (Climate Change Initiative) data resampled from 300 m to 30 m - CCI defined wetlands as “…mixed classes of flooded areas with tree covers, shrubs, or herbaceous covers plus inland water bodies” and
3) Global Surface Water (GSW) 30-m (Pekel et al. 2016) – A pixel was considered a wetland if it had at least one inundation event over a 32-year range.
