Summary

Habitat and land cover maps created using AI to classify satellite data to EUNIS level 2 by Space Intelligence in partnership with NatureScot. This work was a response to the Can Do Innovation fund challenge AI for Good -How can we use Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to tackle the climate emergency? This dataset contains the EUNIS classification level 2 of Scotland's land cover for the year 2020. It is part of a series of 3 layers (raster datasetsat~20m resolution). The other layer provides the land cover classificationfor the year 2019 and a third layer provides the land cover changes that occured between 2019 and 2020.
