Objective
To develop an coordinated Europe-wide research strategy for land use and land cover monitoring and research and to link with other relevant international programmes on this issue, such as the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS), the Land Use and Land Cover Change Project (LUCC) of IHDP and IGBP, and IIASA's Land Use and Land Cover Project (LULC).
OBJECTIVES:
To develop an coordinated Europe-wide research strategy for land use and land cover monitoring and research and to link with other relevant international programmes on this issue, such as the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS), the Land Use and Land Cover Change Project (LUCC) of IHDP and IGBP, and IIASA's Land Use and Land Cover Project (LULC).
DESCRIPTION:
The project evaluates land use and land cover (LUC) data collection methods and data base structures as currently used and developed in several countries of the EU in relation to the needs of environmental management and policy formulation. This will allow the assessment and monitoring of land use and cover changes, including ecosystem process changes, at different scales.
These activities initially focus on four countries: The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the UK. The analysis and evaluation of LUC activities for these countries provides insight into those approaches and procedures which are most appropriate for a range of different physical environments and geographical scales.
This concerted action inventories current methods and data bases relevant for LUC research in the EU and evaluates differences in approaches and possible gaps. In order to enhance compatibility between LUC research in various countries and, to facilitate a new Europe-wide system of monitoring and analyzing LUC, keys will be developed to translate items and data from different sources.
