Dynamic World: Near real-time global 10 m land use land cover mapping
Valerie Pasquarella co-authored a publication in Nature Scientific Data with colleagues from Google, National Geographic Society, and the World Resources Institute (WRI) introducing Dynamic World, a new near-real-time global land cover dataset. The dataset, which includes class probabilities and Top-1 label predictions for all Sentinel-2 L1C imagery with less than 35% cloud cover, was released earlier this year as an Earth […]
Examining the competing effects of contemporary land management vs. land cover changes on global air quality
2021 Wong AYH and Geddes JA. Examining the competing effects of contemporary land management vs. land cover changes on global air quality, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, doi: 10.5194/acp-21-16479-2021 In this publication, we used satellite-derived land cover products from 1995-2015, in combination with global chemical transport modeling, to examine how land cover and land management […]

High Latitude Forest Fires and Climate Change
Mark Friedl has published a paper with Jon Wang (former PhD student with the Land Cover and Surface Climate Group, now a post-doc at UC Irvine) in Nature Climate Change. The results provide new insights into the role of fire in high-latitude carbon budgets and also show that current generation (CMIP6) Earth system models dramatically […]
