New Land Cover (Part 2): Land Cover Change and Trends in the Long Island Sound Watershed

This is the second webinar in UConn CLEAR’s two part series introducing their updated land cover tracking tools. Using data from the Annual National Land Cover Database (NLCD), this session explores how land cover across the entire Long Island Sound watershed has changed from 1985 through 2023, covering regions from Connecticut to the Canadian border.

This webinar highlights trends at the watershed, state, town, and local levels, with special attention to the 300 foot riparian zone along waterways, a critical area for stream health and climate resilience. The session will demonstrate how to interpret land cover change data using CLEAR’s map viewer and dashboards to better understand long term environmental patterns.
