A new paper entitled, "Conterminous United States Land Cover Change Patterns 2001-2016 from the 2016 National Land Cover Database," has just been published in the ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. This paper describes the production and land change results from NLCD 2016 land cover products, and will serve as the primary citation for these products.

2015 NALCMS Land Cover Product Now Available

Published Feb 27, 2020

The North American Land Change Monitoring System (NALCMS) is a collaborative effort by the U.S., Mexico, and Canada to provide land cover change information for the North American continent. NALCMS has just released a new land cover product which depicts 19 classes of land cover across North America for the year 2015 at 30-meter spatial resolution. The new release represents the third product iteration, with earlier NALCMS products released for 2010 and 2005.
