Global Cropland Extent Version 1.0 (GCE V1.0)

January 16-17, 2014 third Workshop on Global Food Security Analysis Data @ 30 m (GFSAD30)

Menlo Park, California, USA

Overarching Goal

The Ultimate Goal of this sub-project is to produce an accurate global cropland extent (GCE) map at nominal 30 m resolution

Note: Global cropland extent is one of the 5 products we will produce in the GFSAD30 NASA MEaSUREs Project.

Approach

Approach: three stages to reach the goalWe will achieve global cropland extent @ 30 m in 3 distinct stages

1. GCE 1.0 (1 km)A global cropland extent map @ 1 km will be produced based on the synthesis of best available existing global extent maps. This will be released at nominal 1 km resolution as version 1.0 product.

2. GCE 2.0 (250 m)MODIS 250 m resolution monthly maximum value composite (MVC) NDVI time-series data will be used to refine the version 1.0 product to produce a more refined nominal 250m resolution as version 2.0 product.

3. GCE 3.0 (30 m)Landsat 30m resolution NDVI data will be used to refine the version 2.0 product to produce further refined accurate nominal 30 m resolution as version 3.0 product.
