[ESIP-all] New data sets from SEDAC

[Elisabeth Sydor]

New data sets have been released by the NASA Socioeconomic Data and 
Applications Center (SEDAC <http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/>) operated 
by CIESIN <http://ciesin.columbia.edu/>:

-Two new high-resolution data sets map global, man-made impervious 
surfaces <http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/ulandsat-gmis-v1> 
and urban extents 
<http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/ulandsat-hbase-v1> in 
unprecedented detail. The data is derived from 2010 Global Land Survey 
(GLS) free Landsat archive. The production of HBASE and GMIS resulted 
from a collaboration between the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and 
the Department of Geographical Sciences at the University of Maryland, 
and was funded through the NASA Land Cover Land Use Change Program. The 
data sets are available for free download, with four representative maps 
<http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/collection/ulandsat/maps/gallery/search?facets=theme:infrastructure> 
illustrating the data layers.

--Another data set, India Annual Winter Cropped Area, 2001--2016 
<https://doi.org/10.7927/H47D2S3W> consists of annual winter cropped 
areas for most of India (not including the northeastern states) from 
2000--2001 to 2015--2016. The data can be used in land cover and land 
use change studies, agricultural applications, and to assist with 
policy-making in regards to sustainable agricultural intensification.
