The Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) consortium is a group of federal agencies who coordinate and generate consistent and relevant land cover information at the national scale for a wide variety of land resource monitoring and modeling applications. The creation of this consortium has resulted in the mapping of the lower 48 United States, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico into a comprehensive land cover product termed, the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), from decadal Landsat satellite imagery and other supplementary datasets.
Because of the federal government shutdown, MRLC.gov is not being updated and the agency will not be able to respond to inquiries until appropriations are enacted. For more information please visit: https://www.doi.gov/shutdown.
We are currently experiencing intermittent issues with https://www.mrlc.gov/data. For guidance on alternative data outlets, please click here.
