FAQ

How is Dynamic World different from static land cover maps?

Dynamic World updates every few days using the latest Sentinel-2 imagery, whereas static maps like ESA WorldCover are released as versioned snapshots. This enables monitoring of rapid land cover changes such as deforestation or flooding.

What land cover classes does Dynamic World include?

It includes 9 classes: water, trees, grass, flooded vegetation, crops, shrub/scrub, built-up areas, bare ground, and snow/ice.
