Effective long-term management of natural resources relies on annual, nationwide maps of landscape change. The U.S. Forest Service's Landscape Change Monitoring System (LCMS) provides this critical data from 1985 to 2024, generating three complementary products: Change, Land Cover, and Land Use. This presentation will demonstrate how to synthesize these products using web-based data viewers to build a comprehensive understanding of landscape dynamics. Additionally, we will briefly explore the history of LCMS and how it has evolved to leverage Google Earth Engine (GEE) to facilitate custom satellite image processing, annual data updates, and the development of public-facing tools.
