Research Approach / Methods
We have assembled a series of one km land cover grids of the USA relevant to development impacts on the terrestrial carbon cycle. The national 1 km Albers Equal Area grids include:
         1) regridded 30 meter land cover from Landsat TM (MRLC),
         2) radiance calibrated nighttime lights from the DMSP-OLS,
         3) road density derived from the U.S. Census Bureau TIGER data, and
         4) DOE Landscan population density data.
