Continental-scale land cover mapping at 10 m resolution over Europe¶

A land cover classification for Europe at 10 m resolution produced with a machine learning workflow driven by Sentinel optical and radar satellite imagery. The classification model was trained on land cover reference data form the LUCAS (Land Use/Cover Area frame Survey) dataset. The map represents conditions in 2018. You can read the preprint here

The pixel values, their definitions and suggested hex color codes include: 0 (not mapped #000000), 1 (Artificial land, #CC0303), 2 (Cropland, #CDB400), 3 (Woodland, #235123), 4 (Shrubland, #B76124), 5 (Grassland, #92AF1F), 6 (Bare land, #F7E174), 7 (Water/permanent snow/ice, #2019A4), 8 (Wetland, #AEC3D6).
