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 2019. It is part of a series of 3 layers (raster datasetsat~20m resolution). The other layer provides the land cover classification for the year 2020 and a third layer provides the landcover changes occurred between 2019 and 2020. The data is currently only available for download by using the WCS endpoint shown below.
