This is a Raster data set. It contains the following raster data types:
Planar coordinates are encoded using row and column
Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 30.000000
Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 30.000000
Planar coordinates are specified in meters
The horizontal datum used is North American Datum of 1983.
The ellipsoid used is Geodetic Reference System 80.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257222.
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.

Calculate and display land use change on non-federal lands in Western Washington, using time- and cost-efficient remote sensing and GIS technologies, keeping in mind the following:
1) Develop methods that can be easily replicated for other areas of the Pacific Northwest;
2) And, attempt to exceed the accuracy and efficiency of conducting a similar study based on aerial photointerpretation, which is often costly and time-consuming.
Land cover is the observed (bio)physical cover on the Earth's surface, while land use is the use is what the land is used for by humans (e.g. protected areas, timber land, etc.). While land cover allows us to see overall biophysical cover, land use allows us to see patterns of development, management practices, and more.
