Supra-national thematic Land Use Cover datasets Summary This open access book represents a comprehensive review of available land-use cover data and techniques to validate and analyze this type of spatial information. The book provides the basic theory needed to understand the progress of LUCC mapping/modeling validation practice. It makes accessible to any interested user most of the research community's methods and techniques to validate LUC maps and models. Besides, this book is enriched with practical exercises to be applied with QGIS. The book includes a description of relevant global and supra-national LUC datasets currently available. Finally, the book provides the user with all the information required to manage and download these datasets Analysis Land Use Cover mapping Land Use Cover Change modelling Land Change science Uncertainty Validation exercises Accuracy Remote sensing Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 22, 2022) Subject Land use -- Remote sensing Land use surveys -- Data processing Geographic information systems.
