Regional Data: Georgia Land Cover Change

Period

1992 – 1997

Land cover map of the Georgia coast

Description

The change detection was conducted with Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery (Path 17, Row 38) that covered all of the Georgia coast, except for a few miles north of the Georgia/Florida border. The study area encompasses the Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve (SINERR) and compliments existing work that uses GIS modeling to assess the impact of management activities and non-point source pollution on coastal marshlands of the Reserve.

A descriptive summary of this data set is available in Portable Document Format (PDF). The summary includes a report of the dominant land cover changes, tabular summaries of the 1992 and 1997 land cover data sets, and a change matrix (or tabular summary) for the 1992-1997 change data set.
