General land cover

Continuous and on-demand land cover mapping at a finer resolution to support EU and international policies.

Land cover maps represent spatial information on different types (classes) of physical coverage of the Earth’s surface, e.g. forests, grasslands, croplands, lakes, and wetlands. Land Cover and Land Cover change information is used by resource managers, policymakers, and scientists studying the global carbon cycle, biodiversity loss, and land degradation.

EvoLand is developing two CLMS prototypes that will offer downstream users:

  • continuous mapping (daily to 10-daily) of land surface characteristics
  • on-demand land cover mapping at different spatial resolutions (100m, 10m, 5m) and observation periods
