Project description
Land use and cover change studies do generally not go beyond the 40 years of Landsat imagery or the 60 years of aerial photography. This study, in which closely and remotely sensed imagery are used, makes a geographically explicit analysis of land degradation and resilience over 150 years, as well as future scenarios in the highlands of Tigray (Ethiopia).
