Land classification is an important first step to assessing land cover and land use. This advanced webinar provides lectures and hands-on activities focused on using satellite imagery for land cover classification. In two, four-hour sessions, attendees will learn how to acquire Landsat imagery, display it in an open-source Geographic Information System (GIS), analyze spectral signatures of land cover types, and conduct a supervised land cover classification. Both sessions feature a lecture, followed by time for participants to complete hands-on exercises and ask questions. Both recordings feature the speaker answering questions from the live webinars.
