Land cover change alters a large range of biological and physical conditions and can have profound impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and climate at regional to global scales. Recent advances in remote sensing and computer technologies have facilitated the use of large volumes of long-term satellite collections and climate records for conducting land change and impact assessments across large geographic areas at multiple temporal scales. These assessments can improve environmental modeling efforts and advance our understanding of the drivers of change and the impacts of land change on ecosystem and climate. This session focuses on characterizing land change across large geographical areas at annual to decadal scales and assessing how landscape and ecosystems response to climate change using satellite remotely sensed data. We seek contributions that use these multi-temporal datasets to advance our scientific understanding of types, trends, magnitudes, and consequences of land change and ecosystem/climate responses.
