Introduction to LUCC Data Set
This data set is developed by the Institute of Geographical Sciences and
Natural Resources Research (IGSNRR, http://www.igsnrr.ac.cn) of the
Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).  It includes land cover raster maps of
China produced based on the digital images of AVHRR and the land use
raster map of China with the Landsat TM/ETM digital images as the main
data sources (see reference literature below).  Access to the released
data will be restricted to TAMU employees, as well as official visiting
scholars on campus, using a computer with TAMU IP address only.  This
data can also be purchased directly from IGSNRR; those interested should
contact:
