Over past decades, a lot of global land-cover products have been released; however, these
still lack a global land-cover map with a fine classification system and spatial resolution …

Land-cover change has been identified as an important cause or driving force of global
climate change and is a significant research topic. Over the past few decades, global land …

Data that have been processed to allow analysis with a minimum of additional user effort are
often referred to as Analysis Ready Data (ARD). The ability to perform large scale Landsat …

At over 40 years, the Landsat satellites provide the longest temporal record of space-based
land surface observations, and the successful 2013 launch of the Landsat-8 is continuing …
