    Global urban extent (MODIS 500m)

    The MODIS 500-m global map of urban extent was produced by Annemarie Schneider at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in partnership with Mark Friedl at Boston Univeristy and the MODIS Land Group. A new dataset has been developed depicting global urban land c. 2001-2002 based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 500-m satellite data.Methods exploit temporal and spectral information in one year of MODIS observations, classified using an ensemble decision tree classification approach.
