Land Use and Land Cover Change (LUCC) / IGBP-DIS Data Requirements Workshop

PAGES presentations were made at this workshop by Suzanne Leroy and Frank Oldfield.

The importance of studying long-term records of land-use/land-cover (LU-LC) change was acknowledged at the meeting.

One goal shared by LUCC and PAGES is to document, by all available means, the history of LU-LC change over the last 200 years. This is in accordance with the views expressed more widely at the IGBP Congress in 1996.
