This protocol uses satellite imagery, LandTrendr algorithms, and machine learning to detect, map, and label annual landscape disturbances\u2014such as avalanches, landslides, riparian changes, fires, and insect and disease outbreaks\u2014across Pacific Northwest national parks and adjacent lands. The mask identifies areas with minimal or no vegetation cover, where spectral changes detected by LandTrendr are typically driven by annual differences in snow or cloud cover, water-surface reflectance, shading, or seasonal variations in herbaceous or shrub phenology.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "An .xml metadata file in ISO 19139 format for barren land and water mask for Mount Rainier National Park and surrounding areas", "downloadURL": "https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/756435?Reference=2317418", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "application/xml", "title": "MORA_LandscapeMonitoring_Mask_UTM_ISO19139.xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "An .xml metadata file in ISO 19139 format for barren land and water mask for North Cascades National Park Service Complex and surrounding areas", "downloadURL": "https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/756436?Reference=2317418", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "application/xml", "title": "NOCA_LandscapeMonitoring_Mask_UTM_ISO19139.xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "An .xml metadata file in ISO 19139 format for barren land and water mask for Olympic National Park and surrounding areas", "downloadURL": "https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/756437?Reference=2317418", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "application/xml", "title": "OLYM_LandscapeMonitoring_Mask_UTM_ISO19139.xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Geopackage containing barren land and water masks for Mount Rainier and Olympic National Parks and North Cascades National Park Service Complex and surrounding areas.", "downloadURL": "https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/756434?Reference=2317418", "format": "gpkg", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream", "title": "NCCN_LandscapeMonitoring_Masks_UTM.gpkg"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Zipped folder containing individual shapefiles and associated metadata for barren land and water masks for Mount Rainier and Olympic National Parks and North Cascades National Park Service Complex and surrounding areas", "downloadURL": "https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/756439?Reference=2317418", "format": "zip", "mediaType": "application/zip", "title": "NCCN_LandscapeMonitoring_Mask_UTM.zip"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/NPS_DataStore_2317418", "issued": "2026-03-13T00:00:00Z", "keyword": ["Ecological Framework: Landscapes | Landscape Dynamics | Land Cover and Use", "Mount Rainier National Park", "NPS.gov Subject Site: GIS, Cartography & Mapping", "NPS.gov Subject Site: Mountains", "NPS.gov Subject Site: Science", "North Cascades National Park", "North Coast and Cascades Network", "Olympic National Park", "barren land", "disturbance", "high elevation", "landscape change", "mask", "vegetation", "water"], "landingPage": "https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2317418", "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2026-03-13T00:00:00Z", "programCode": ["010:118", "010:119"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Park Service"}, "spatial": "-124.771484,46.7078171,-120.631889,49.0009346", "temporal": "2015-01-01/2015-01-01", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "North Coast and Cascades Network Landscape Change Monitoring Barren Land and Water Masks"}
