However, existing LC products each have different temporal and spatial resolutions and different LC classes that rarely provide the detail required by these studies. Using multiple existing LC products, we implement our Spatiotemporal Categorical Map Fusion (SCaMF) methodology over a large region of the Rocky Mountains (RM), encompassing sections of six states, to create a new LC product, SCaMF\u2013RM. To do this, we must adapt SCaMF to address the prediction of LC in large space\u2013time regions that present nonstationarities, and we add more flexibility in the LC classifications of the predicted product. SCaMF\u2013RM is produced at two high spatial resolutions, 30 and 50 m, and a yearly frequency for the 30-year period 1983\u20132012. When multiple products are available in time, we illustrate how SCaMF\u2013RM captures relevant information from the different LC products and improves upon flaws observed in other products. Future work needed includes an exhaustive validation not only of SCaMF\u2013RM but also of all input LC products.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs9101015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,2]],"date-time":"2017-10-02T13:10:05Z","timestamp":1506949805000},"page":"1015","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["SCaMF\u2013RM: A Fused High-Resolution Land Cover Product of the Rocky Mountains"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Nicol\u00e1s","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Jeangros","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines, 1500 Illinois St., Golden, CO 80401, USA"}]},{"given":"Amanda S.","family":"Hering","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistical Science, Baylor University, One Bear Place #97140, Waco, TX 76798, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7481-9965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Timothy","family":"Kaiser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and High Performance Computing, Colorado School of Mines, 1500 Illinois St., Golden, CO 80401, USA"}]},{"given":"John E.","family":"McCray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines, 1500 Illinois St., Golden, CO 80401, USA"},{"name":"Hydrologic Science and Engineering Program, Colorado School of Mines, 1500 Illinois St., Golden, CO 80401, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3427","DOI":"10.1109\/TGRS.2006.879113","article-title":"A novel method for mapping land cover changes: Incorporating time and space with geostatistics","volume":"44","author":"Boucher","year":"2006","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
