ABoVE: Landsat-derived Annual Disturbance Agents Across ABoVE Core Domain, 1987-2012

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 21, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-17
This dataset provides spatial data on disturbance agents of fire, insects, and logging in the Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) core domain at an annual time step from 1987-2012 and 30 m resolution. Using a time-series of Landsat data, the three disturbance types were identified by abrupt changes in Tasseled Cap (dTC) indices of brightness, greenness, and wetness. Disturbances were detected by a Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) harmonic regression model applied to the time series. The dTC indices and disturbance results are provided.
