National Land Cover Database (NLCD) Land Cover Products

Description

The USGS Land Cover program has combined the tried-and-true methodologies from premier land cover projects, National Land Cover Database (NLCD) and Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP), together with modern innovations in geospatial deep learning technologies to create the next generation of land cover and land change information. The product suite is called, “Annual NLCD Land Cover Products” and includes four annual products that represent land cover and surface change characteristics of the U.S.: 1) Land Cover, 2) Land Cover Change, 3) Land Cover Confidence, and 4) Spectral Change Day of Year. These Land Cover science product algorithms harness the remotely sensed Landsat data record to provide state-of-the-art land surface change information needed by scientists, resource managers, and decision-makers. Annual NLCD uses a modernized, integrated approach to map, monitor, synthesize, and understand the complexities of land use, cover, and condition change. The Land Cover products are available at https://www.mrlc.gov/data. Legend and Description information is maintained at https://www.mrlc.gov/data/legends/national-land-cover-database-class-legend-and-description.
