POSTEL Landcover Globcover
A land cover map associates to each pixel of the surface a labelling characterizing the surface (ex : deciduous forest, agriculture area, etc) following a predefined nomenclature. A commonly used nomenclature is the LCCS (Land Cover Classification System) used by FAO and UNEP, and comprising 22 classes.
POSTEL produces and makes available the global land cover map at 300 m resolution of the GLOBCOVER / ESA project, which can be viewed with a zooming capacity. Regional maps are also available with classes adapted to each bioclimatic area.
