International Land Use and Land Cover Change Research

International Land Use and Land Cover Change Research studies how human activities and natural processes alter the Earth's land and surface. This research examines shifts in agriculture, urban development, deforestation, and ecosystem changes over time. By analyzing satellite images and data, scientists assess the impact of these changes on climate, biodiversity, and communities. Understanding land use and cover changes helps policymakers make informed decisions to manage resources sustainably, protect the environment, and address issues like climate change and food security on a global scale. Ultimately, it aims to balance human needs with ecological health.
