Land cover mapping

Land cover mapping is the process of creating detailed maps that show how different areas of land are used or covered. This can include forests, rivers, agricultural fields, urban areas, and more. Using satellite images and aerial photography, scientists and researchers classify and analyze the types of land cover and their distribution. This information is important for understanding environmental changes, managing natural resources, planning urban development, and studying impacts on ecosystems. Overall, land cover mapping helps us visualize and manage our planet's surface and its various uses effectively.
