Remote Sensing of Land Change: A Multifaceted Perspective

Geospatial Forum with Dr. Zhe Zhu (Univ. of Connecticut)

The discipline of land change science has been evolving rapidly in the past decades. Remote sensing has played a major role in one of the most critical components of land change science, which includes observation, monitoring, and characterization of land change. In this forum presentation, Dr. Zhu will first introduce a new remote sensing perspective on land change — the multifaceted view — and the corresponding five facets including change location, time, target, process, and agent. Finally, Dr. Zhu will introduce the very first contiguous U.S. (CONUS-wide) land agent product that provides annual (and day-of-year) and high-resolution land change information based on the Object-based Disturbance Agent Classification Algorithm (ODACA) and the COntinuous monitoring of Land Disturbance (COLD) algorithm.
