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. This is the most organized effort made to
understand the dominant force that has been responsible for
changing the Earth's biosphere. Audience: This publication will be
of interest to students, scientists, and policy makers. 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.
