Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
This data set contains the 2003-era and 2007-era classifications of St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands and can be used to analyze change. This data set utilized 32 full or partial ADS40 scenes which were analyzed according to the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) protocol to determine land cover.
