Global land cover data are key sources of information for understanding the complex interactions between human activities and global change. FROM-GLC (Finer Resolution Observation and Monitoring of Global Land Cover) is the first 30 m resolution global land cover maps produced using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) data. Our long-term goal in FROM-GLC is to develop a multiple stage approach to mapping global land cover so that the results can better meet the needs of land process modeling and can be easily cross-walked to existing global land cover classification schemes.
