Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Impervious Surface Expansion in the Qinhuai River Basin, China, 1988–2017

Impervious surfaces are key indicators for urbanization monitoring and watershed degradation assessment over space and time. However, most empirical studies only extracted impervious surface from spatial, temporal or spectral perspectives, paying less attention to integrating multiple dimensions in...

description Impervious surfaces are key indicators for urbanization monitoring and watershed degradation assessment over space and time.

The preliminary results showed that the overall accuracies of the final classification were about 95%, with the kappa coefficients ranging between 0.9 and 0.96. The QRB underwent rapid urbanization with the percentage of the impervious surfaces increasing from 2.72% in 1988 to 25.6% in 2017.
