Evidence For Deviations From Uniform Changes In A Portuguese Watershed Illustrated By Corine Maps: An Intensity Analysis Approach, Zara Teixeira, João C. Marques, Robert Gilmore Pontius
Geography
We apply a method to evaluate the strength of the evidence for deviations from uniform land change in a coastal area, in the context of Intensity Analysis. The errors in the CORINE maps at 1990 and 2006 can influence the apparent change, but the errors are unknown because error assessment of the 1990 map has never been released, while the error of the 2006 map has been checked for only some countries. The 1990 and the 2006 maps of a coastal watershed in Portugal served as the data to compute the intensities of changes among eight categories. We evaluate the …
