Land cover\nchanges for many reasons, including\nseasonal weather, severe weather events such as cyclones, floods and\nfires, and human activities such as\nmining, agriculture and urbanisation.\n\n\u00a0\n\nRemote sensing data recorded\nover a period of time allows\nthe observation of land cover dynamics. Classifying these responses\nprovides\na robust and repeatable way\nof characterising land cover types.
