Lakes are integrators of environmental change occurring at both the regional and global
scale. They present a wide range of behavior on a variety of timescales (cyclic and secular) …

The compilation of global Landsat data-sets and the ever-lowering costs of computing now
make it feasible to monitor the Earth's land cover at Landsat resolutions of 30 m. In this …

We developed a global, 30-m resolution dataset of percent tree cover by rescaling the 250-
m MOderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Vegetation Continuous Fields …

Recent years have witnessed the practical value of open-access Earth observation data
catalogues and software in land and forest map**. Combined with cloud-based computing …

Over the past 2 to 3 decades, Chinese forests are estimated to act as a large carbon sink, yet
the magnitude and spatial patterns of this sink differ considerably among studies. Using 3 …

Simulations of biomass burning (BB) emissions in chemistry transport models strongly
depend on the inventories that define emission source location and strength. We use 13 …

Six widely used coarse-resolution global land cover data-sets–Global Land Cover
Characterization (GLCC), Global Land Cover 2000 (GLC2000), GlobCover land cover …

We introduce and test a new method to detect annual forest cover loss from time series
estimates of percent tree cover. Our approach is founded on two realistic assumptions:(1) …

Simulations of biomass burning (BB) emissions in global chemistry and aerosol transport
models depend on external inventories, which provide location and strength for BB aerosol …

China is reported as the leading country in the Earth's greening. However, it is a challenge
to capture the gradual recovery in forest cover and distinguish the contribution of trees from …
