Code and data repository for creating a habitat type map

Hi there I'm Martin 👋

I am a conservation and environmental scientist working at IIASA. I enjoy thinking about interdisciplinary and policy-relevant questions and making software that is useful.

habitatmapping's Issues

New coral data to be integrated in next release

This data has become available and appears more accurate that the current coral data.

Assets available on Earth Engine

Are the image products available as assets for use on Google Earth Engine?

Do images of individual habitat classes exist?

New global land cover data

Successor to ESA GLC 100m. First results expected in 2025.

Earth engine assets available here

1: Ocean
2: Large Lake/River
3: Major River
4: Canal
5: Small Stream

Check new macroalgae data and whether this can be used

New better mangrove data to be integrated

Check new mountain data

Load data in R

Can the terrestrial habitat map have a sort of format (e.g. shapefile) that can be easily loaded into R? How should I do?
Thank you!

Check new coastal wetland data

New Tidal marshes data

New coastal beach layer

Intersected with urban/builtup at the coast this might give a good sandy beach depiction

Version 004 download

Are version 004 products available for download?

New delta data

Small pacific islands missing in the habitat map owing to gaps in Copernicus

Reported by @rasenior :

Small islands in the pacific are currently missing the habitat map. This is due to data gaps in the underlying Copernicus product, which can be visualized as follows:

var dataset = ee.Image("COPERNICUS/Landcover/100m/Proba-V-C3/Global/2019")
.select('discrete_classification');
Map.setCenter(-88.6, 26.4, 1);
Map.addLayer(dataset, {}, "Land Cover");

Could potentially be fixed by implementing a data fusion approach, reverting to other global land cover products (ESA?) for these regions only. Although resolution won't be as high as for the rest of the world, but better than a data gap...
