An evaluation of monthly impervious surface dynamics by fusing Landsat and MODIS time series in the Pearl River Delta, China, from 2000 to 2015

Abstract Researchers have been attending increasingly to impervious surface dynamics to better understand the urbanization process and its impacts on urban environments. Previously, numerous studies have only estimated and mapped impervious surface dynamics at annual or decadal time scales. It is challenging to estimate impervious surface dynamics at a finer time scale, such as on a monthly scale, while using a single source of medium spatial resolution satellite imagery. However, urban infrastructure construction could cause changes in impervious surfaces in a short period of time. This paper aimed at developing a new methodology for evaluating monthly impervious surface dynamics by fusing Landsat and MODIS time series. The Pearl River Delta in China, is located in a humid subtropical region and was selected as the study area due to its dramatic urbanization in the past three decades.
