Map of Vegetated Wetlands in Alaska based on ALOS PALSAR data
View DatasetDescription
A map of vegetated wetlands in Alaska generated by applying an automated classification routine to ALOS PALSAR data from 2007 and ancillary layers.
The method used to generate the map and associated accuracy is described in the following, open access, publication:
Clewley, Daniel; Whitcomb, Jane; Moghaddam, Mahta; McDonald, Kyle; Chapman, Bruce; Bunting, Peter. 2015. "Evaluation of ALOS PALSAR Data for High-Resolution Mapping of Vegetated Wetlands in Alaska." Remote Sens. 7, no. 6: 7272-7297.
The data is a raster in KEA format (http://kealib.org/) with class names stored as a Raster Attribute Table, this is the version used in the paper. There is also a GeoTiff version with the class names available in the CSV 'WetlandCodes.csv'. A high resolution of the map (figure 4 from paper) is also provided.
