The US Geological Survey (USGS), Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center, is offering this funding opportunity to a CESU partner. This grant is for research focused on improving land cover science by investigating and implementing state-of-the-art sampling and statistical strategies. These strategies are essential for robust accuracy assessment and precise area estimation. The research will also explore the impacts of reference data uncertainties, which is crucial for reliable land cover data. The ultimate purpose of this work is to characterize and enhance the validity of significant USGS land cover change products, such as the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) and the Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) annual science products.
