WARNING:

The maps from the different MapBiomas Chile collections are products that are constantly evolving. When using the data, make sure to always use the latest available version.

MapBiomas maps are best applied at scales up to 1:100,000. Although it is possible to view them at a scale of 1:50,000, we do not recommend using them at this scale.

PRODUCTS AVAILABLE TO GENERAL PUBLIC

  • Land cover and land use maps: These are maps in matrix or raster format (30 m pixel). The legend of the maps and the period covered may vary between collections.
  • Satellite image mosaics:  For each year of the historical series with maximum spatial resolution of 30 m formed by compositing the representative pixels of each set of images of a location at a given time period (e.g. filtering out clouds). All dates of the year were considered for the generation of the mosaics. The mosaics contain 184 layers of information consisting of spectral bands, spectral indices, and physical variables such as slope, exposure, and canopy height.. The mosaics can be visualized directly in Google Earth Engine. Two "periods" wet and dry were defined to separate 50% of the pixels with higher values and 50% of the pixels with lower values.
  • Web platform for public consultation: With images, maps and statistics from MapBiomas Chile Collection 2.0.

PRODUCTS AVAILABLE FOR SPECIALISTS OR DEVELOPERS

  • Methodological notes explain the entire work method, including the specificities of each class.
