# Land Cover 15-Class

Impact Observatory — version 1.4

## Description

This dataset classifies land cover at 10 m spatial resolution, with global coverage for custom time periods (> 3 months) from 2017 onwards. Pixels are assigned one of 15 land cover classes.

## Summary

- **ID:** e7a24340-27fe-4c02-86d5-2cfcf6bbd661
- **Type:** Raster
- **CRS:** EPSG:3857
- **Spatial coverage:** Global
- **Spatial resolution:** 10 m
- **Temporal coverage:** 2017+
- **Temporal resolution:** User-defined

## Usage notes

Data is delivered as composites of predictions made on Sentinel-2 observations over a date range. Custom date ranges are permitted, although annual composites are recommended to ensure sufficient Sentinel-2 observations for reliable predictions.

## Variables

### land_cover_class
- **Type:** Integer
Index of the predicted land cover class. Predictions are made using a deep learning segmentation model trained to predict > 5 billion manually annotated land cover classifications from Sentinel-2 imagery.

## Pricing

A new subscription returns a temporal composite of the requested date range. Data acquisition costs are per hectare:
