High-resolution mapping of global surface water and its long-term changes

TL;DR: Using three million Landsat satellite images, this globally consistent, validated data set shows that impacts of climate change and climate oscillations on surface water occurrence can be measured and that evidence can be gathered to show how surface water is altered by human activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

A global lake and reservoir volume analysis using a surface water dataset and satellite altimetry

TL;DR: In this paper, a time series of variation in lake and reservoir volume between 1984 and 2015 were analyzed for 137 lakes over all continents by combining the JRC Global Surface Water (GSW) dataset and the satellite altimetry database DAHITI.
Journal ArticleDOI
