how much land is covered by croplands, trees or forests, bare soils, etc. - has been the fact that different countries and organizations go about identifying, measuring and recording such data in diverse ways. But for FAO's new Global Land Cover SHARE database (GLC-SHARE), data pulled ...
In comparison to other platforms such as Google Earth Engine or the Global Land Cover Share Database, GHSL stands out as a tailored dataset specifically designed for studying built-up regions. It provides a detailed delineation of the progression of built-up surfaces between 1975 and 2030 at ...
Another notable improvement with this update is the alignment of the LULC maps with the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS). The sourceSentinel-2 Level-2Aimagery, from which the land cover is derived, is aligned to the MGRS. While the LULC maps have always been consistently aligned with one...

The Global Land Cover SHARE Beta-Release v1.0 (GLC_SHARE) fractional landcover geospatial database, provides an estimate of the percent of cropland area within a 1 km grid cell, and was used to identify cropland extent. The designation “cropland” is an aggregated category based upon the...
“GIS not only provides the capabilities necessary to produce and share data and maps such as LULC, it also enables users to derive and disseminate insights from such data,” said Sean Breyer, Esri program manager for ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. “Generating this infor...
The maps depict the global distribution of gross gains and losses in forest cover, as well as their net change. The initial analysis showed strong effects of extant land use in temperate regions and land-use change in the tropics over the period, while wildfire dominated in the boreal zone....
Despite its small land coverage, urban land and its expansion have exhibited profound impacts on global environments. Here, we present the scenario projections of global urban land expansion under the framework of the shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs)
Urban land expansion is one of the most visible, irreversible, and rapid types of land cover/land use change in contemporary human history, and is a key driver for many environmental and societal changes across scales. Yet spatial projections of how much and where it may occur are often limit...
