Exploring the New Global LandCover Change Dataset from 1985-2022
We published a new post exploring the incredible Global Land Cover Change Dataset GLC_FCS30D with a temporally consistent 35 class classification from 1985-2022 at 30m resolution.
The post shows how to build a Earth Engine App to explore this rich time-series dataset. You can see and play with the app at https://spatialthoughts.projects.earthengine.app/view/global-landcover-change-explorer
Interested in how to build such apps and calculate statistics? Check out the post with code examples at Exploring the Global 30m Land Cover Change Dataset (1985-2022) GLC_FCS30D.
