Sentinel-2 Land Cover Explorer

Annual 10-meter global land use/land cover maps presented in a ready to use web application for dynamic visual and statistical change analysis.

About the data Land use land cover (LULC) maps are an increasingly important tool for decision-makers in many industry sectors and developing nations around the world. The information provided by these maps helps inform policy and land management decisions by better understanding and quantifying the impacts of earth processes and human activity. ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World provides a detailed, accurate, and timely LULC map of the world. The data is the result of a three-way collaboration among Esri, Impact Observatory, and Microsoft. For more information about the data, see Sentinel-2 10m Land Use/Land Cover Time Series.
About the app One of the foremost capabilities of this app is the dynamic change analysis. The app provides dynamic visual and statistical change by comparing annual slices of the Sentinel-2 10m Land Use/Land Cover data as you explore the map.
Overview of capabilities:
  • Visual change analysis with either 'Step Mode' or 'Swipe Mode'
  • Dynamic statistical change analysis by year, map extent, and class
  • Filter by selected land cover class
  • Regional class statistics summarized by administrative boundaries
  • Imagery mode for visual investigation and validation of land cover
  • Select imagery renderings (e.g. SWIR to visualize forest burn scars)
  • Data download for offline use
