  1. Note that owing to an increased amount of Landsat data available in Google Earth Engine at the time of running the analyses, version 1.2 (2020) has greater coverage than version 1.1 (2018). Owing to resource limitations and to align with many other global map products, version 1.2 is produced only for the years 1999–2019.
