Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) for Alabama, 1996-2005-era land cover change analysis (NCEI Accession 0038518)

browse graphicGraphic not available.
This data set contains the 1996-era and 2005-era classifications for Alabama, a subset of zone 46, and can be used to analyze change. This imagery was collected as part of the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics program in a multi-agency effort to provide baseline multi-scale environmental characteristics and to monitor environmental change. This data set utilized 72 full or partial Landsat 5 and 7 scenes which were analyzed according to the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) protocol to determine land cover.

Supplemental Information
The Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) is a nationally standardized database of land cover and land change information, developed using remotely sensed imagery, for the coastal regions of the U.S. C-CAP products inventory coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and adjacent uplands with the goal of monitoring these habitats by updating the land cover maps every five years.

The development of standardized, regional land cover information enables managers to coordinate the planning of shared resources, facilitating an ecosystem approach to environmental issues that transcends local and state regulatory boundaries. C-CAP has recently released two time periods of mapping for all of the Conterminous United States (CONUS), and is now working to update these products.


On 03 September 2009, Coastal Remote sensing began submitting C-CAP data to NODC cut to different geographies. To insure that you download the C-CAP data that are cut to most current geographies, please download data from accessions that have a date received that is on or after that date.
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
