Ground reference data relating to land cover, habitats and change collected using the Earthtrack mobile application are available.

About

Tools To Shape Decision-Making

Living Earth provides a wide range of easy-to-use tools for exploring or record information on the environment, with these ranging from interactive maps, mobile applications to data cubes with dense time-series of satellite data.

Interactive Map

Explore the landscapes of your country

Our Interactive maps allow you to visualise how people and nature have shaped the national landscape and what they might look like in the future under different scenarios of change.

You can explore changes in land and water and how these might impact on biodiversity, carbon storage, water quality and other ecosystem services.

These maps also provide an avenue for discussing the impacts of past changes and future outlooks.

Get The Data

Download or stream the data to your computer

All Living Earth data are free to access and use, either through direct download or streaming through to your computer through web-map services.

You can also access and analyse the data without having to download or stream by logging into your country's data cube (see ANALYSE THE DATA)

Analyze the data

Use Living Earth data and Jupyter notebooks for analyses

If available for your country, log in to your data cube environment and use Jupyter notebooks to explore and interact with the the full time-series of satellite data and products derived through Living Earth.

You can import your own spatial datasets and generate summary statistics and reports. Tutorials and example notebooks are provided and can be adapted for your own purposes.

As an opensource data provider LIVING EARTH provides all its data, algorithms and process strategies for free. We would like to invite you to join the global effort working towards sustainable land management by using our data to solutions.

EarthTrack app

Collecting and accessing field observations

Earthtrack is a mobile application which allows people to record information on land cover, habitat and change in near real time.

All submitted data accumulate historically and are freely available to use (see GET THE DATA) and are collected using globally-consistent terms. All points submitted contribute to validation of Living Earth products for your country.

Earthtrack is free to download from the major app stores but make sure you read the terms and conditions before using and submitting records as all data are publicly accessible and open to use.
