Global Distribution and Density of Constructed Impervious Surfaces

Global Distribution and Density of Constructed Impervious Surfaces

We present the first global inventory of the spatial distribution and density ofconstructed impervious surface area (ISA). Examples of ISA include roads, parking lots,buildings, driveways, sidewalks and other manmade surfaces. While high spatialresolution is required to observe these features, the n...
