The land cover and use classification of MapBiomas Colombia is based on Landsat mosaics. A mosaic has been produced for each of the years evaluated (1985-2023) through spatial and temporal integration pixel by pixel of the different Landsat scenes. As a strategy to improve classification results, the time intervals for the mosaics were defined based on the dry season of the area where the greatest detection of land use surfaces was reflected

The annual mosaics contain 141 variables, including spectral bands, some specific indices and fractions, topography, and elevation. For more information, refer to the General ATBD document..

You can access the annual mosaics from Collection 2 directly in Google Earth Engine through the public asset of the collection
