NLCD Alaska 2011 products available

For Alaska, because of the short growing season and scarcity of cloud-free imagery, the extent of snow, ice, water and their associated change reflects the change between the year and season when the imagery was recorded. The differences in snow, ice, and water extent between 2001 and 2011 may not reflect true perennial changes, but may simply reflect seasonal change between the available imagery.

The USGS in collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management and other MRLC partners is producing additional NLCD products for Western U.S. shrubland areas.
