According to Google, Dynamic World assesses the land cover type for every 1,100 square feet. It indicates the likelihood that the portions are covered by one of nine different types of cover: water, flooded vegetation, built-up areas, trees, crops, bare land, grass, shrub/scrub, and snow/ice. Google described its approach, which is created in collaboration with the World Resources Institute, in a report published in Nature Scientific Data.
