Regional Data: North Carolina Land Cover Change

Period

1991 – 1997

Land cover map of the North Carolina coast

Description

The change detection was conducted with Landsat TM imagery (Path 14 Rows 35 and 36 and Path 15 row 36) that covers all of the North Carolina coast. Path 16 Row 36, that was completed in 1998 as part of the South Carolina project, also covers inland portions of southern North Carolina, (encompassing Fort Bragg) and extends as far west as the eastern outskirts of Charlotte, North Carolina. Encompassing parts of four Landsat scenes, this is one of the largest C-CAP projects to date.

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 1991 and 1997 land cover data sets, and a change matrix (or tabular summary) for the 1991-1997 change data set.
