TOOLKIT
To facilitate access to coverage and transition MapBiomas data by year, the project toolkit was created. Through this tool, it is possible to export the collection by biome, region, province, district, watershed, protected areas, or indigenous territories boundary that the user is interested in.
Access the tutorial video produced by MapBiomas Amazon to learn how to use the toolkit. The following toolkit is currently available:
GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE
MapBiomas uses technology from the Google Earth Engine. We provide scripts to facilitate access to the MapBiomas collections.
To access and run follow the following instructions:
- With a Gmail account sign up for the Google Earth Engine Platform through this link: https://earthengine.google.com/
- In a few days you will receive authorization to access the platform.
- Once registered in Google Earth Engine insert the link of the script of the toolkit: https://code.earthengine.google.com/?scriptPath=usersmapbiomasuser-toolkitmapbiomas-user-toolkit-lulc.js
- Change the parameters to get the map you want.
We encourage users of the toolkit to send us their suggestions for innovation so that we can constantly improve it.
