We are pleased to announce the release of the global land cover (LC) products for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018 in the framework of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). These global LC maps describe the land surface into 22 classes at a spatial resolution of 0.002778°. In order to ensure continuity, they are consistent with the global annual LC map series from 1992 to 2015 produced by the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI). Read more »

The 8^th CCI LC newsletter is now available here, providing details on the recent activities of the CCI LC team, including the move to operational production of the CCI global annual LC time series with the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), and the continuation of the R&D activities of this time series with the Climate Change Initiative Extension (CCI+).

In the framework of the Land Cover (LC) project of the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI), we are looking for a Post-Doc researcher to address the challenges of improving the LC description in land surface models. Read more »

The 2nd CCI Land Cover workshop took place on 24th September 2018 in ESA/ESRIN. The activities and key achievements of the CCI Land Cover team over the last years were presented: fully automated global land cover mapping at 300m resolution. It's obvious the datasets are being used by the community.  

The team took the opportunity to introduce the Copernicus Climate Change Service within which annual LC maps at 300 m will continue to be generated for 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Dear CCI Land Cover User,

More than one year has passed since the release of the very first CCI 300 m long-term global land cover time series (1992-2015) (http://maps.elie.ucl.ac.be/CCI/viewer/) that took place at the WorldCover conference in March 2017. Read more »

 CCI_LandCover Progress Meeting took place in Mexico this week, in the presence of the representatives of 7 different Mexican institutions.

This package is prepared for users of Sen2Cor version >=2.5 who wants to benefit from the last improvements of Sen2Cor Cloud Screening and Classification module.

This auxiliary data information is used in Sen2Cor to improve the accuracy of Sen2Cor classification over water, urban and bare areas and also to have a better handling of false detection of snow pixels.
