Hey,
I've recently started using the LULC dataset via MPC, instead of the LivingAtlas, and it works great. Pulling this through STAC as COG's is an incredible help. Appreciate this implementation.
I also use the Deforestation dataset from GLAD, and their landuse change map which in combination allows me to infer forests/wetlands/native ecosystem being destroyed due to expanding agricultural practices. I was wondering if it would be interesting to MPC to implement these two GLAD datasets under the category of land use change. Whilst the existing land use change map looks at the most recent change. The two datasets I suggested are based on Landsat and contains information approximately 20 years back in time. This is particularly useful for doing agricultural MRV.
I hope that could be of interest to you.
Thank you.
