East asia’s changing urban landscape. With new NASA funding (2014), our recent efforts have focused on: (1) monitoring urban expansion globally, 2000-2010 (including development of new c. 2000 and c. 2010 urban extent datasets); (2) providing sub-pixel estimates of global urban land use; and (3) differentiating downtown areas from low density residential land.
