From the Landsat mosaics, the classifications that result in land cover and land use maps are carried out for each year. Within the logic proposed by MapBiomas the maps will be updated every time there is an improvement in the classification algorithms. The classification methodology is dynamic and procedural, with the purpose of improving the classification of each typology.
The data from the most recent MapBiomas collections can always be accessed in four ways:
1. browsing on line through the MapBiomas dashboard: https://plataforma.brasil.mapbiomas.org
2. Access the data asset on Google Earth Engine: ID:
