Urban Dynamics Research Program: Analysis of Land Use Change in Urban Environments

Entry ID: USGS_UDRP

[ Get Data ]
[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Urban Dynamics project looks at land use change in urban environments in order to provide a historical perspective of land use change and an assessment of the spatial patterns, rates, correlation, trends, and impacts of that change. This project develops and refines methods for land use reconstruction, geographic analysis, modeling, prediction, monitoring, and impacts assessment.
