This GlobCorine map is a pan-European land cover and use map, providing a resolution of 300 m.
The map, based on ESA’s Envisat satellite data from 1 January to 31 December 2009, is the first of its kind to be produced in such a short time – nine months as opposed to years.
ESA’s GlobCorine shows how an automated service can generate and regularly update such maps, which are essential for environmental agencies.
