Supra-national thematic Land Use Cover datasets.This open access book represents a comprehensive review of available land-use cover data and techniques to validate and analyze this type of spatial information. The book provides the basic theory needed to understand the progress of LUCC mapping/modeling validation practice. It makes accessible to any interested user most of the research community's methods and techniques to validate LUC maps and models. Besides, this book is enriched with practical exercises to be applied with QGIS. The book includes a description of relevant global and supra-national LUC datasets currently available. Finally, the book provides the user with all the information required to manage and download these datasets.Earth and Environmental Science SeriesGeographic information systemsCartographyPhysical geographyGeographical Information SystemCartographyEarth System SciencesGeographic information systems.Cartography.Physical geography.Geographical Information System.Cartography.Earth System Sciences.910.285COM018000SCI019000SCI030000bisacshGarcía-Álvarez David1255968Camacho Olmedo María Teresa1255969Paegelow Martin1255970Mas Jean-François1255971MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910578688003321Land Use Cover Datasets and Validation Tools2911721UNINA
