This dataset includes output data from the following article:

Oladimeji Mudele, Marissa Childs, Jayden Personnat, and Christopher Golden. 2024. Mapping forests and deforestation activities in Madagascar using satellite imagery. Under Review.

• Forest agreement maps covering 2016 to 2020 obtained from comparing seven remote sensing data products can be found files with names in this format: agreement_map_{YEAR}_30m.tif
• Forest extent maps for the year 2020 from all data available in that year can be found in file names with the format: {DATA_NAME}_2020_30m.tif, e.g. esri_2020_30M.tif
•  District-aggregated forested area data extracted and used for temporal analyses can be found in files with names formatted as: forested_area_dustrict_year_{DATA_NAME}.geojson. e.g.    forested_area_dustrict_year_{DW}.geojson for Dynamic World data.
•  District-aggregated deforested area data extracted and used for temporal analyses can be found in files with names formatted as:  in: deforested_area_dustrict_year_{DATA_NAME}.geojson. e.g.    deforested_area_dustrict_year_{DW}.geojson for Dynamic World data.
• Madagascar_admin_boundaries.zip contains the administrative boundaries of Madagascar, obtained from here.

 All raster data are available as GeoTIFF raster files at 30m resolution and coordinate reference system EPSG:4326.
