Abstract: | This project yielded the most detailed and accurate land-cover dataset ever produced for the United States portion of the Lake Champlain Basin (LCB). It leveraged the considerable investments made by state, regional, and federal organizations in high-resolution imagery and LiDAR for the LCB. Over a year-long period of intensive work, land cover in the Lake Champlain Basin was mapped at a resolution 900-times more detailed than any existing Basin-wide product. This project yielded two principal output datasets. The first is a 1-meter resolution land-cover dataset. The second is a 10-meter land cover layer in which the 1- meter classes were aggregated to the National Land Cover Database (NCLD) classification |
