A time series of data from Landsat was used to generate a series of three maps at decadal time step to show how surface water has changed from 1991 to 2011 in the high northern latitudes of North America. Previous attempts to characterize the change in surface water in this region have been limited in either spatial or temporal resolution, or both. This series of maps was generated for the NASA Arctic and Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE), which began in fall 2015. These maps show a \u201cnominal\u201d extent of surface water by using multiple observations to make a single map for each time step. This increases the confidence that any detected changes are related to climate or ecosystem changes not simply caused by short duration weather events such as flood or drought. The methods and comparison to other contemporary maps of the region are presented here. Initial verification results indicate 96% producer accuracy and 54% user accuracy when compared to 2-m resolution WorldView-2 data. All water bodies that were omitted were one Landsat pixel or smaller, hence below detection limits of the instrument.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs8080622","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,28]],"date-time":"2016-07-28T10:04:56Z","timestamp":1469700296000},"page":"622","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Quantifying Surface Water Dynamics at 30 Meter Spatial Resolution in the North American High Northern Latitudes 1991\u20132011"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Mark","family":"Carroll","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GSFC Biospheric Sciences Laboratory, NASA, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA"},{"name":"Science Systems and Applications Inc., Lanham, MD 20706, USA"}]},{"given":"Margaret","family":"Wooten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GSFC Biospheric Sciences Laboratory, NASA, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA"},{"name":"Science Systems and Applications Inc., Lanham, MD 20706, USA"}]},{"given":"Charlene","family":"DiMiceli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20740, USA"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Sohlberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20740, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5231-8465","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maureen","family":"Kelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20740, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2388","DOI":"10.4319\/lo.2006.51.5.2388","article-title":"The global abundance and size distribution of lakes, ponds, and impoundments","volume":"51","author":"Downing","year":"2006","journal-title":"Limnol.
