Through its outreach activities programme, GLCN promotes the distribution
of base datasets in support of land cover mapping programmes around the world.
Datasets such as
Landsat satellite imagery,
land cover and SRTM based
global DEMs
are distributed on DVDs (cover sample on the right) or large storage
devices .
Following is a collection resources, data and supporting products,
available through this portal.
Land cover
GLCN is involved in numerous global, regional and national
initiatives and projects related to land cover and environmental
databases development.

Land cover change
With the availability of historical and recent global archives of
free satellite imagery, and by taking advantage of methodologies and
tools developed in the GLCN programme framework, initiatives on
the detection of land cover change over the last 20-30 years have
been conducted at regional and national scale.

Land cover-derived data
LCCS-based land cover databases contain information that can be used
to derive indices representing spatial relations within different
land cover/land use types.
[Details..]
Landsat satellite imagery
Through its outreach activities programme, GLCN promotes the distribution
of base satellite imagery to workshop participants and in general to the
GLCN community.
[Details..]
Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) mosaics
GLCN promotes the distribution to the user community of processed
digital elevation data (DEM) derived from the Shuttle Radar Topography
Mission (SRTM) archive.
[Details..]
Mapping with LCCS
The LCCS is rapidly being adopted by both national and international
organizations and initiatives.
[Details...]
Original legends
The Legend Module of LCCS allows users to take land cover classes and
store them in a hierarchical structure that groups the classes according
to the main land cover type.
[Details...]
Translations
LCCS software allows the translation into LCCS language of legends
generated with other classification systems.
