Description

30m resolution historically consistent land cover and cover fraction maps over the Sudano-Sahel for the period 1986-2015. These land cover / cover fraction maps are achieved based on the Landsat archive preprocessed on Google Earth Engine and a random forest classification / regression model, while historical consistency is achieved using the Hidden Markov Model.

Validated land cover / cover fraction maps covering the full Sudano-Sahel are provided for 2015 (2015_Sahel.zip), while historical maps are available for four focus areas. The extent of the areas are displayed in 11_study_area.jpeg
