Land Cover GLC2000 (1km) MODIS v.5 – 2005 (500m) GlobCover 2005, 2009 (300m) GLC v.2 (1km) Regional products (CORINE, Africover) National products

Why is it so important to improve global land cover?  Critical input dataset for many societal benefit areas, e.g. Ecosystems, Biodiversity, Energy, Climate, Disasters  Originally focus and applications - field of climate change projections  Now increasing demand from the integrated assessment community and the global biophysical modelling community, e.g. REDD  Cropland extent has been neglected, but is crucial for applications in the field of food security, assessing yield and production gaps  Also important for investment decisions both by governments as well as foundations (e.g. Gates)

Disagreement in Africa in the cropland domain between GLC-2000 and MODIS v. 5 Fritz et al ERL, 2012

Motivations behind Geo-Wiki  When different products are compared, there is a lot of disagreement between them  One product might say cropland, another grassland  Confusing if you are a user – which one is correct? Which is the best product to use?  Disagreement overall and/or spatially  Google Earth is one of the only affordable tools available to collect validation points globally (e.g. GlobCover, latest Chinese product)  Repository of validation/calibration data  Create a hybrid global land cover map (i.e. improve land cover)

Geo-wiki makes GEO data easy to visualize and analyze. Volunteers from around the globe can classify Google Earth imagery, input their agreement/ disagreement with the existing data 8
