Massachusetts 1991 - 1997 Land Cover Change Analysis
Entry ID:
Massachusetts_1991_1997_Land_Cover_Change_Analysis
Summary
Abstract:
This data set consists of three Landsat Thematic Mapper scenes which
were analyzed according to the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) protocol to determine land cover and a subsequent change detection. The data were field validated to produce a land cover inventory for Massachusetts. If you wish to create an attribute table to identify the different land cover change classifications, an easy reference table is available under the PROCESS DESCRIPTION section. Purpose: To improve the understanding of coastal uplands and wetlands, and their linkages with the distribution, abundance, and health of living marine resources.
