A highly detailed land cover map of Germany, showcasing various landscapes classified by color. Green represents tree cover, yellow shows cropland, pink highlights grassland, and red indicates built-up areas. Other classes, like permanent water bodies (blue) and herbaceous wetlands (purple), add nuance. The map provides a rich visualization of Germany's diverse environment using data from the ESA WorldCover project. Credit: Map by Milos Popovic. Data source: ©ESA WorldCover project 2021.

Alt Text: A land cover map of France displaying various land cover classes derived from ESA WorldCover 2021 data. The map uses vibrant colors to represent different classes, such as tree cover (green), shrubland (light green), grassland (pink), cropland (yellow), built-up areas (red), bare/sparse vegetation (brown), snow and ice (blue), permanent water bodies (dark blue), herbaceous wetland (light blue), and moss/lichen (orange). The map includes a scale bar indicating 200 km, a north arrow for orientation, and is annotated with ©2024 Milos Popovic, referencing the ESA WorldCover project 2021.

🗺️ New raster overlays in Climate Engine! 🗺️

You can now add contextual overlays to your CE maps:
🌍 Landcover (NLCD, ESA WorldCover),
🏛️ Land ownership (Surface Management Agency)
💧 Wetlands (NWI, VBET)

What layers do you want to see added to Climate Engine?

Do you also have a tutorial for ESA WorldCover?

So dump newbie questions, that's similar but different data?

There’s more cropland than global maps suggest. Our error-adjusted estimate puts active cropland at around 76,300 km², well above ESA WorldCover (50,900 km²) or GLAD (40,900 km²). We found agricultural activity in frontier regions that are home to an estimated 1.5-2.8 million people.
A data graphic comparing Mozambique cropland mapping datasets. A large heat map shows national cropland density, while a side-by-side comparison grid demonstrates that the new MozFields 2023 model captures many more smallholder farm plots than existing global maps (WorldCover and GLAD), revealing much higher levels of agricultural activity than previously recorded. „Fig 1.

I processed the ESA WorldCover 2021 dataset — a global 10 m land cover map derived from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite data.

It's VERY pretty to look at and I can even host it myself.
