A Short Presentation of the Land Change Modeler (LCM)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Geomatic Approaches for Modeling Land Change Scenarios

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography ((LNGC))

Abstract

The Land Change Modeler is a land change projection tool for land planning. It uses historical land cover change to empirically model the relationship between land cover transitions and explanatory variables to map future scenarios of change.
