LAND COVER CHANGE ANALYSIS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA USING NLCD DATA
Land cover change is critical to be monitored as land cover change has significant impacts on flooding, ground water recharge, and urban air temperature. In this paper, key findings from a land cover change analysis study performed in the State of California are presented. National Land Cover Databa...
