<p>This volume is a synthesis of the NASA funded work under the Land-Cover and Land-Use Change Program. Hundreds of scientists have worked for the past eight years to understand one of the most important forces that is changing our planet-human impacts on land cover, that is land use. Its contributions span the natural and the social sciences, and apply state-of-the-art techniques for understanding the earth: satellite remote sensing, geographic information systems, modeling, and advanced computing. It brings together detailed case studies, regional analyses, and globally scaled mapping efforts. </p><p>This is the most organized effort made to understand the dominant force that has been responsible for changing the Earth’s biosphere.</p><p>Audience: This publication will be of interest to students, scientists, and policy makers.</p><p>This volume includes a CD-ROM containing full color images of a selection of illustrations which are printed in black-and-white in the book.</p>
