Summary:
- This article presents a comprehensive dataset of global surface water extent, including information on the location, size, and temporal dynamics of surface water bodies.
- The dataset was created by analyzing over 3.5 million satellite images from the Landsat program, providing a detailed record of surface water changes over the past 35 years.
- This dataset can be used by scientists and policymakers to study the impacts of climate change, land-use changes, and other environmental factors on the world's surface water resources.
